With almost 20 years within the tree care industry, Reuben began his career in 1996, working for the National Trust in Worcestershire, followed by a one-year training programme with the Forestry Commission in rural Wales. Here he gained practical skills in forestry management and tree care.
Reuben then completed a HND in Arboriculture at Warwickshire College while working as an arborist for national companies such as Glendale. He has worked in tree-related roles for local authorities such as Three Rivers Council in London, the London Borough of Camden & Cannock Chase District Council.
The experience gained through these roles developed his knowledge of planning issues and legal matters, including:
dealing with Tree Preservation Orders (TPOS)
root damage investigations
dealing with subsidence claims
writing & assessing tree reports for planning applications
Working in London gave Reuben first-hand experience of the pressure that trees face in built-up areas. Consequently, he learned a lot about how to mitigate these pressures.
Reuben is very experienced in carrying out tree inspections. He is also competent in overseeing tree contracts and tendering for new ones, and in leading teams of people.
In addition, he is:
a tree expert for the Consulting Arborist Society (CAS).
a professional member of the Arboricultural Association.
a member of the Institute of Directors (IoD).
a fully accredited Chartered Manager with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
undertaking his Charter with the Institute of Chartered Foresters (ICF).
