Maxwell Graduates from the Artemis Training Academy

We are delighted that another apprentice has just graduated from our Training Academy as a fully qualified Arborist.

Maxwell Dingley-Butt recently achieved his SEG Award Level 2 Certificate in Arboriculture. This was gained with practical on the job experience combined with theoretical study with Myerscough College.

Maxwell came into tree surgery following a total career change and with no experience of Arboriculture beforehand. He worked as a hairdresser before he came to us. However, he craved the outdoor live and working with nature. He wanted a completely different challenge. Since starting with Artemis, he hasn’t looked back – he loves it.

Maxwell commented: “I wasn’t enjoying life as a hairdresser. I decided it wasn’t the career for me. Tree work gives me an adrenalin rush and the thought of climbing a tree for a living was very enticing. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s fun, rewarding and I love working outside.”

Now that he’s in the industry, Maxwell doesn’t see himself ever leaving. He wants to continue to progress and develop skills to the highest technical level.

In his spare time, Maxwell likes going to the gym, playing the guitar, and partying. Sounds like now he’s made the career change, he is certainly enjoying life.

Here at Artemis, we are proud to have another graduate from our scheme and look forward to helping Maxwell progress his career in Arboriculture. Well done, Maxwell!

The Artemis Academy 2-year apprenticeship scheme was established in 2019, to train a new generation of tree surgeons to our own high standards. With practical on-the-job experience, classroom instruction and crucial qualifications recognised across the industry we produce some of the best newly qualified arborists in the business.

Artemis Tree Services are one of the most professional, friendly, helpful companies I have ever dealt with. Lee assessed all the trees in my garden and it was clear from that moment I was dealing with an experienced company that had a lot of integrity. Charlie, Lewis, Marcin and Luke all worked with great care and diligence and made sure I was happy with the work. Every step of the way I was treated with respect and understanding. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have some tree work done. Excellent value for money too. Great companies still do exist and ATS is one of them!

The level of service is second to none. The survey outlined what would be required, advised on any contact for consent from neighbours if required and what the short and long term expectations would be. The team that undertook the extreme pruning of fir trees on the boundary of my property were polite, engaging, professional and made sure I was happy with the end result. Never having had to engage a tree services before I had no idea of pricing and was more than surprised at the value for money. Meticulously clearing up afterwards and removing all debris the same day. Plus points, everything, negative points, none. I would most highly recommend.

I needed some fir trees trimmed back as they were overgrowing the border fence . From the very first contact right through to the completion of works their whole team were always prompt and on time , professional , knowledgeable and efficient . There was regular communication and reminders leading up to the booked appointment . During the initial survey and appointment everything was explained and my inquisitive questions engaged and answered. They completed the work and cleared up everything . Great service and would definitely use them again .

Set up was thorough as we needed to get permits, keys for a shared gate and the ok from neighbours. Two guys that did the work were friendly, organised and probably left the garden looking tidier than when they started. Thoroughly recommended.

Artemis took down two lime trees who's roots had damaged the garage floor and were an inch away from the foundations of the house . The trees were in a very awkward place to get to but this didn't seem to trouble this highly competent team. The team were extremely well equipped , and they worked together like a well oiled machine. We were delighted with their work, tidiness and very pleasant manner. And it was at a fair price.
