Shaine Bailey, Owner & Managing Director
From a young age, Shaine helped to sort the wood for the fire at home. As he entered into the engineering sector after leaving school, Shaine was made redundant twice in quick succession. Looking for a new departure and career path, Shaine researched tree surgery – and has never looked back.
For almost 12 years, Shaine has led the Treetech NW Ltd team and enjoys every aspect of the job. Every day is different and challenging – especially due to the fact that tree surgery is a unique skill that very few possess.
Through attendance at Llysfasi College, Shaine completed numerous NPTC (National Proficiency Test Council) qualifications. The NPTC is the most widely recognised organisation within the tree industry and Shaine’s qualifications include:-
- Tree climbing and aerial rescue
- Felling and processing small trees
- Cross cutting and maintenance of a chainsaw
- Felling and processing large trees
- Operating a chainsaw from rope and harness
- Carrying out correct pruning techniques
- Aerial tree rigging and groundsman rigging techniques
- Safe operation of a woodchipper
- Safe operation and maintenance of strimmers, mowers and hedgecutters
- Manual application of pesticides through backpack sprayer
In his spare time, Shaine enjoys walking and hiking, fishing and even tries his hand at wood carving. Loving the outdoor life, Shaine used to help his father fix various cars, machines and chainsaws and he feels he picked up many skills by helping him in his younger days.
Lewis Edwards, Apprentice
As an apprentice with Treetech NW Ltd, Lewis chose the career of a tree surgeon as he thought it would be fun! He began his apprenticeship with Coleg Cambria in 2021 and is due to finish in October 2022.
As he is enjoying learning the trade that he is so passionate about, Lewis is also specialising in IV2 Land Based Engineering and IV2 Land and Wildlife Management. He gains particular enjoyment from using the heavy machinery that is part of his new role with Treetech NW Ltd.
When he is on the ground and enjoying time off, Lewis spends even more time in the great outdoors going on long walks with his dog.
