Charlie – Groundsman and rescue climber

An introduction to…
Charlie studied Arboriculture at Capel Manor in North London, he is a very accomplished Groundsman who is equally at home lowering massive sections of wood on lowering devices or dragging piles of brushwood (OK, no -one is happy doing that!), the point is, he gets stuck in and works until the task in hand is complete, finished and done. `He’s instrumental in reading the job sheets and loading up the trucks with the correct gear so the day can run smoothly.
Groundsman and rescue climber…
Charlie is qualified to use many pieces of equipment on the ground, but he also is a qualified rescue climber, making him a vital treat member.  The groundsman is crucial in the smooth running of a job, their knowledge on the ground is so important as they sometime need to be able to second guess the climber up the tree.
Personal bio…
Charlie is a keen motorbike racer and regularly spends his weekends racing dirt bikes on tracks throughout the South. By all accounts he’s not too bad at it either…. well that’s what he says.
