Why teams in Huntly book this

Huntly is built on forestry, and Lone forestry operators routinely miss refresher windows because cohorts don't run nearby. On-site forestry training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Forestry & Land Management context: Deeside forestry blocks mix steep ground, weather and lone-working — operator competence is the only on-ground control.

FAQs

Do you cover sites near Huntly?
Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
Which regulations does forestry training map to here?
PUWER 1998, FISA guidance, ROPS/FOPS for forestry plant. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the forestry client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.
Have you worked with sites near Huntly before?
Regularly — we work around GlenDronach Distillery (nearby), Dewar's Aberlour catchment, Huntly Industrial Estate tenants. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
What happens if the weather closes the site?
We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.
How experienced are the instructors?
Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
