I began working in the tree industry 9 years ago, after over 20 years working as an Editor in Broadcast Television.

I then went on to attend Sparsholt College; a Forestry & Arboricultural College in Hampshire, where I obtained several certifications and also qualified as a climber.  I began my career as a groundsman/second climber for a small company based in Wiltshire, where I quickly came to realise my love for the arboriculture industry and learn all sorts of new work skills.  From there, I went on to work for a larger business in Oxfordshire, continually gaining knowledge and experience.

In 2023 I felt ready for new challenges and started my own business - "Ted's Gardening & Maintenance" - and almost immediately, the company flourished and continues to go from strength to strength.  

I am always keen to extend my skills and knowledge.

I have gained further qualifications and also have plans for further courses/training in the future.
