Leadership Team

About Will Simpson

Will Simpson is the driving force behind the company’s day-to-day operations, combining years of hands-on industry experience with a strong focus on quality, professionalism and continual improvement.

Although heavily involved in quoting work, meeting clients and managing machinery and logistics, Will remains very hands-on within the business and regularly visits sites personally to oversee projects and support operational teams.

A key part of Will’s role is planning and problem solving. From the initial client meeting through to completion, he focuses on delivering practical and efficient solutions that provide excellent value while maintaining high standards of safety and workmanship.

He particularly enjoys managing technical and mechanical tree work, especially complex roadside ash dieback operations and large-scale vegetation management projects where planning, communication and attention to detail are essential.

Clients often value Will’s straightforward approach, industry knowledge and commitment to delivering reliable, well-managed projects. These values have helped the company build long-standing relationships with many repeat customers and commercial clients over the years.

Within the business, Will encourages a culture of trust, responsibility and continual improvement. He actively supports staff development and believes strongly in creating a professional company culture built around teamwork, pride in workmanship and high operational standards.

Over the years, Will has successfully managed a wide range of complex projects, including large-scale tree clearance, forestry operations, roadside vegetation management and infrastructure works throughout the UK.
