HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS ARE FINDING WORK A BIT SLACK ?...down here it's not very good at all

Are any of you noticing that a lot of work you have priced up is simply not getting done ??..I thought i was loosing work to competitors until i took a drive out to have a look.

private inquirys are down in volume , saying that i've trimmed our ad's ,
however, talking to other firms around my area, they aren't as busy as in other year's , the traditional easter glut hasn't happened this year.
there was a lot of deadwooding and felling carried out this year by the winter storms .
we may see an up turn now the sun is showing itself

Hey Mate no worries, dont take me wrong I was just 'avin a giraffe.
Dont know about difficult stuff, never turned away a job yet. sometimes I think thats all I get. Do you get gucci proclimbers who walk away (shock!)?

Iain - we travel as far as south highlands in scotland and newmarket in surrey, but work has still gone ????e.
Its not a matter of pricing ourselves out of the market either, its actuall inquirys have tailed off to nothing...

Hi

The place where i'm working at the moment is thinking of expanding into doing extra tree work. We are currently insured for the use of chainsaws for pruning and cutting hedges. Problem is we are not insured for lopping and felling even if everything is rigged. So are there any insurance companies that specialise in tree work that i can ring up for a quote?
