No I hadn't, yet another club I can't join....ah well, might just send them an email asking why physically undertaking Arb work excludes you from consulting, so long as the consult is not on work your company is bidding for can't see how any conflict of interest could be construed? But then I've been told many times I'm thick and just don't understand the subtleties of these things, glad to see the membership list though some familiar names, maybe I'll just ask some of them hat the deal is next time our paths cross (Oh I can hear their expectation already!) and how they judge themselves as not having unreasonable favouritism towards the companies of others that they kno and are friendly towards, how could they avoid the problem of favouring ISA memebers, or heaven forbid companies with CA's over those without.
Hmmmm..something of a tangled web me thinks, and by favour I mean writing into their consultancy bench marks and basic levels of service standard ie qualified Arborist to undertake work in accordance with AS4373...etc (of course by etc I mean nix in Oz cause 4373 is all we've got!)
Rant over
