Scott Butler

Job Titles:
  • Generation Tree Surgeon
Scott Butler is a fifth-generation tree surgeon. For the last 18yrs has been itching to get stuck into the day to day activities of the family business. He brings loads of new ideas and will definitely be going places! As a small boy, he would visit the site with his Mum to see what everyone was up to. When he was old enough to go with Granddad when surveying and quoting jobs, he would be keen to go and spend a day visiting clients. Then as a young teenager, he would come out on-site to be involved, playing his part in a team as often as he could. These early years helped shape Scott into the young man he now is and set him in good stead for a long and successful career in arboriculture. Scott is a great addition to our team and we are looking forward to seeing how his skills progress over the coming years! When Scott is not working, which is hardly ever, he spends his spare time shooting at clay pigeons or a bit of recreational tree climbing.
