Lyn Ralph.
LEAD ARBORIST
Meet our Lead Arborist, Lyn!
​
With over 27 years of experience within the industry, if you run into a problem or have a question, Lyn’s the man for the job.
​
He started his career building fences, and now he’s responsible for managing sites across the country. From little acorns, hey!
​
You’ll either see him loving life driving one of our diggers around, or handling some serious business with a milky brew (two sugars) firmly in hand.
​
When he’s not overseeing things at work, Lyn fondly refers to himself as ‘Dad’s Taxi Service’, ferrying his children from A to B without too much complaining. An animal lover at heart, Lyn has a dog which he loves walking, two cats, and some fish. We wonder what the next pet will be!
Jamie Davies.
ARBORIST
Jamie’s love of working in the outdoors drew him to a career in tree surgery, and he has completely thrown himself into the role.
When on the job, you'll most likely find Jamie is the first one climbing up a tree to help get the job done! He loves a challenge so the bigger the tree, the faster he will get up it!
A true family man, Jamie loves nothing more than coming home to his little boy, who definitely gives him the run around at home. Don’t offer him a brew if he comes in after a sleepless night though – he hates the stuff!
Josh Mogford.
ARBORIST
After spending years in the Armed Forces, Josh knew a traditional desk job was not what he wanted to return to. He took on a role with us and learned on the job so quickly, turning him into an experienced, effective arborist. Josh has a level 2 in Arboriculture and is a certified RFS arborist.
Josh's favourite piece of equipment is the Tracked Wood Chipper. He loves its ‘chomping power’ as he so perfectly words it!
His favourite part of working in arboriculture is when he is in forestry, dealing with windblown trees and storm damage.
As an ex-Army Engineer, we know we can always come to Josh when a piece of machinery starts playing up! He loves tinkering about with old motorcycles in his spare time as well as surfing, but that’s no use to us in a time of crisis!
Alex Fowler.
ARBORIST
An experienced arborist, Alex joins us with over 10 years' worth of experience in the industry. Alex has dealt with pretty much any situation on the job so knows his way around a tree as well as he knows his way around any type of machinery which he loves to work with!
In his spare time, Alex enjoys discussing anything about his passion for cars over a good bottle of his favourite cider.
Kristian Williams.
ARBORIST
Kristian has worked in the industry for over six years and brings a solid amount of experience and know-how to the team. If you see Kristian working on a job, you’ll likely find him halfway up a tree, working out the best way to handle what’s needed to do.
​
In his spare time, Kristian enjoys sport shooting, fishing, skiing and will take his tea with milk and two sugars. Ta!
Kyran Brittain.
ARBORIST
With a year of experience behind him, Kyran is keen to learn more about the industry and to develop his skills as much as he can. You’ll find Kyran shadowing other team members while out on a job, supporting the team with essential learnings of what it takes to be a fully-fledged arborist!
In his spare time, you may see Kyran exploring the breadths and depths of the country in his camper van, finding the best tracks to ride on his mountain bike or talking about his love for motorbikes.
