Training body, Lantra, is putting together an online register of people and businesses involved in tree-work, that is backed by the industry itself.
Called the Register of Tree Work Operatives (R2), it promises to help individuals and businesses to record and demonstrate their skills, experience and training, whilst providing structured skills development and improving progression.
It is hoped the system will make it easier for employers to recognise skilled staff and improve retention.
Ros Burnley, Lantra’s industry partnership manager, said: "By providing an industry standard aligned with other accreditations it is hoped that R2 will assist with professionalising the sector and improving industry image."
For more information on R2 email Ros Burnley or call 07867 90 81 70.
