Our founder, Robert Oates wins another award! Rob has been recognised as one of the LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2024, in partnership with The Times. Not only this, but he was the winner of LDC’s The Disruptor Award which recognises Arbtech’s amazing growth and success. This award was decided by the experienced judging panel of Carl Castledine of Away Resorts; Janette Martin of Talos360; Luke Consiglio of The Pantry and The Most Ambitious Business Leader 2023; John Garner of LDC; and Kate Bassett and Bex Burn-Callander, editors of The LDC Top 50 2024. The Top 50 celebrates entrepreneurs demonstrating remarkable ambition, and is now in its seventh year. This year the programme received more than 700 nominations showcasing the exceptional individuals building successful and growing businesses right across the UK. Rob said: It was a surprise and an honour to be nominated for The Times Top 50 business leaders award, but as with other awards, I can’t claim this award is a product of my own work. Arbtech would not be the company it is today without the help and support of my incredible colleagues - so I accept my inclusion in the Top 50 on behalf of all of us - and look forward to what we can do in the next chapter! Well done Rob! #LDCTop50 #Arbtech #Celnor

🌳 VALID TREE RISK-BENEFIT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY The ARBTECH team are excited to welcome Acer Ventura to Oxford next week to revolutionise our approach to tree risk management using VALID. We are confident that VALID is at the cutting edge with a robust risk evaluation method baked into a common-sense Tree Risk-Benefit Management Strategy. With VALID, we are better able to demonstrate: • Trees give us many benefits that we need • The overall risk from trees and branches falling is extremely low • We can't remove the risk entirely. Trees are living structures that sometimes shed branches or fall during severe weather • Our duty of care, when managing the risk, is to be reasonable, proportionate, and reasonably practicable • We're going to manage the risk to an Acceptable or Tolerable level https://lnkd.in/eNPkMMN8
