Start Your Leadership Journey: From Arborist to Technical Leader 🌳

Across the UK, the arboricultural industry is facing a challenge we can no longer ignore: a shortage of skilled arborists. Demand for professional tree work is rising, yet the next generation of leaders is in short supply.

At Beechwood Trees, we’ve chosen not to wait for the market to change. Instead, we’re creating the solution ourselves — by investing in people and building a clear, structured pathway from climber to leader.

Why Leadership Matters in Arboriculture

Being a great climber is only part of the story. The industry needs confident leaders who can:

• Run safe and efficient sites.

• Mentor and guide junior arborists.

• Communicate effectively with clients.

• Set the technical and professional standards for the future.

That’s why we’ve developed our Team Leader Development Pathway — designed to take ambitious arborists and support them step by step into technical leadership roles.

The Beechwood Development Pathway

Our pathway is a 5-stage programme that combines technical training, leadership development, and personal growth. Each stage includes structured reviews, clear salary progression, and recognition milestones.

Stage 1 – Climber (Core Technician)
0–6 months | £28–30,000
Build core climbing skills, tool care, and site safety awareness.

Stage 2 – Lead Climber
6–12 months | £30–32,000
Take on tool/equipment responsibility and mentor junior climbers.

Stage 3 – Trainee Team Leader
12–18 months | £32–35,000
Shadow planning, lead safety briefings, and begin leadership training.

Stage 4 – Team Leader
18–24 months+ | £35–38,000
Full crew and site responsibility, client contact, and operational leadership.

Stage 5 – Senior Arborist (Master Technician)
30+ months | £38–42,000
Mentor teams, lead complex jobs, support operations with audits and training.
