Alan Thompson

Yes. He should have a helmet on.

But the picture was taken years ago, when he was still (relatively) young, (allegedly) fit, and Health the Safety wasn’t was it is today.

Alan is a surveyor, having spent many years as a tree surgeon, before deciding to progress his career in professional arboriculture by joining Arbtech.

Operating from Arbtech’s Chester office, he is supporting a team of people who tackle tree surveys for developments large and small.

He is regularly all over the country, and frequently works from home when drafting CAD drawings, tree constraints plans, and writing reports.

A former London Borough of Enfield Tree Officer, he is well equipped to deal with almost any planning issue that pertains to trees; though he specializes in being about the quickest and most efficient BS5837 tree surveyor money can buy.

Robert Oates, founder and managing director says:

“Alan is a really top bloke. He’s dedicated, personable and has an incredible energy about him. I can only assume his commitment is the reason he can get surveys completed and reports out to customers so quickly. Also, sat a mere twenty feet or so from him in the office, I genuinely learn from him each week: sometimes it’s a random fact about an 80s hit–but mostly its stuff I never knew about trees.”
