Tilhill staff grow their professional chartered foresters member’s status

Tilhill has more chartered foresters than any other employer in the UK and actively supports all applicable staff in achieving their chartered status. 

“Membership of the institute is a very important aspect of being a Tilhill manager,” said David Edwards, Tilhill’s forestry director and former president of the ICF. “The company pays the membership subscription fee and supports staff members as they plan their route to chartered status. It is great to be the employer with the most institute members and chartered foresters.

“Chartered status demonstrates a commitment to continuing professional development and as a company we are delighted to have a further four professional forest managers within our forestry team.”

The most recent cohort of chartered Tilhill staff includes forest managers Rob Baker, one of the youngest chartered foresters in the UK, Iain Pettifor, Jenny Bjars, and Danielle Olding. 

“Once again, it is fantastic to see Tilhill championing professional standards in forestry by supporting staff in gaining their chartered status,” said Dr Stuart Glen of the ICF. “Chartered status is an international badge of excellence recognised by peers, colleagues, clients and the wider public.”
