Team Profile

Expertise and experience

West Coast Network Services' team is characterised by high levels of relevant expertise which has been enhanced by the experience over many years in delivering contracts on infrastructure services. We attract the best talents in the industry and then enhance their abilities in post with a comprehensive training plan for continued development and learning.

Most members of the management team are also arborists. As a result, they are able to provide practical and realistic advice to landowners and organisations both public and commercial.

Specialist planners are able to create efficient and coherent schedules and schemes for site works covering just a few days to those requiring several months. Budgets can range from thousands of pounds to several millions. Clients are supplied with bespoke reports and geo-spatial data in  formats that can be integrated into their own systems.
