Prior to forming Beddow Tree Care (former name) Michael Beddow undertook training at Brooksby College, Melton Mowbray, Myerscough College Lancashire and the University of Central Lancashire. In addition Michael spent a year to furthering his practical skills working in Washington DC, USA. During his year in the states Michael worked on prestigious sites such as the Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery, Smithsonian Institute and was involved with the building of the Franklyn Roosevelt Memorial Garden amongst other famous landmarks. When he had completed college and gained some more experience he set up Beddow Tree Care on the 1st of September 1999.
Initial equipment was a white transit van similar to the image, two stihl chainsaws and a set of climbing equipment. Now as you can see from the group equipment photo things have changed a little!
Over the last 13 years the business has grown significantly. Throughout this time, Beddow Tree Specialists have continued to invest intraining and development of staff and now have our own Apprenticeship Scheme.
Beddow Tree Specialists now carry a full range of abouricultural equipment and continue to invest resulting in the Tree Surgery Team now operating 7 bespoke vehicles.
