I Have been an arborist for 13+ years now and began my journey at Merrist wood college in Guildford on the tree surgery course for craftsmen at just 17. I have since gone on to obtain my professional tree inspection cert and Royal forestry society cert also whilst becoming one of the directors in the family business that is A.J Paine & sons.I continue to be hands on, on a regular basis whilst continuing to develop my skills and knowledge whilst studying and working whether up I'm a tree or on the ground.
