About me: I am interested in all aspects of aerial and ground based arboriculture and in my spare time I have been involved with a group of fellow climbers who look to find, climb and measure tall trees around the country. As well as teaching, I am also involved with the internal quality assurance of courses here at Shuttleworth.

My role: Technician

I provide: Technical and teaching support across all of the Land & Environment courses, especially those that require the use of machinery. 

About me: I look after all of the farm and horticultural machinery, as well as the workshops here at Shuttleworth.  I also perform the work experience health and safety visits. Prior to working at Shuttleworth I was an estate forester on a 5,000 acre estate.  I felled trees, milled timber and carried out lots of tree inspections.  Prior to this I drove harvesters and forwarders in the forests of Finland.
