👀 ARE YOU THE KIND OF PERSON WHO ACTUALLY ENJOYS MAKING THE NUMBERS ADD UP? 👀

Yes?!

We need you 🙃

Springwood has grown. A lot.

More people. More vehicles. More kit. More clients. More invoices. More suppliers. More VAT. More spreadsheets…

And, frankly, it’s time someone who really knows what they’re doing took ownership of the financial side of it. 🤪

We’re looking for an experienced Bookkeeper / Finance Manager to join us for 2 days a week at our office in North Clifton (NG23 7AZ).

This isn’t just a data-entry bookkeeping role.

We’re looking for someone who can get properly under the skin of the business and take ownership of:

💷 Day-to-day bookkeeping
🧾 Sales & purchase ledgers
📞 Credit control
🏦 Bank reconciliations
📈 Cashflow forecasting
🧮 VAT & keeping tax liabilities firmly on our radar
👥 Payroll support
📊 Monthly management accounts
🔎 And generally spotting things before they become a problem

Basically, we want someone who can look after the numbers so we can make better decisions with them.

2 days / approx. 10 hours per week
💰 £20 - £25 per hour PAYE, depending on experience
📍 Based with us at Springwood, North Clifton

We’re a friendly, slightly chaotic, very hardworking bunch building a business we’re incredibly proud of - and this person will become a genuinely important part of it.

If you’re experienced in SME finance, love getting things organised and would quite enjoy being the person who occasionally tells the Directors “No, you absolutely cannot buy another machine this month”… 😂

We should probably talk.

☕ Come over for a coffee, meet us and see what you think.

🦸🏼 Not all heroes wear capes, some wear chainsaw trousers… 🫣

Aidan took a quick trip up a big pine first thing this morning to rescue the very lovely Donut 🐱 who had escaped up there after being startled by a neighbour’s dog last night!

Taking a day off the tools is an important part of keeping our teams safe on them…

Giving us time to bring everyone together, stand down days enable us to review how we work and give training, equipment and safety our full attention.

They’re a chance to practice skills, revisit emergency procedures, check kit and talk through the things we’ve encountered on site. Crucially, they give everyone space to ask questions, raise concerns and share their experiences.

In tree work, conditions change and quick decisions matter. Keeping our standards high takes regular practice, honest conversations and a team that feels confident speaking up.

Making time for this helps us look after each other, deliver a better service for our clients and get everyone home safely 🍃

Thrilled with our three trainees - Lewis, Max and Tyler, who have all flown through their NPTC Level 2 Award in Tree Climbing and Rescue (or CS38 in old money…) this week.

Not sure anything makes us more proud than trainers and assessors telling us how brilliant our team are and that’s exactly what happened this time too - incredible job lads, thank you!

We invest so much in training not only to enable us to complete our work safely, but also to encourage both personal and professional growth in our team… we now have a full house of aerial rescue qualified ops and we’re sending more of the gang out to undergo CS30 and 31 (Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross-Cutting and Felling Small Trees up to 380mm) refreshers, training and assessments next week 😮‍💨

We absolutely loved showing what we do to the crowds at This is Farming a couple of weeks ago - we’re already planning bigger and better things for next year!

What a fantastic day at Thoresby Park for the wonderful This is Farming show 🌳🚜

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Springwood Tree Services stand today. It was brilliant to catch up with familiar faces, meet so many new people and talk all things arb.

Delivering two live demonstrations (a professional work climb and a realistic live aerial rescue scenario), was a real treat for the team. It was a great opportunity to show the skill, training and teamwork that go into working safely in our industry every single day, and the crowds certainly didn’t disappoint!

We were also chuffed to welcome Clarksons Farm’s very own Harriet Cowan to the stand - she took to tree climbing like an absolute natural!🌳

We’re incredibly proud of the whole Springwood team. They gave up their Saturday, represented the business brilliantly and demonstrated exactly what we’re about: professionalism, safety and high standards.

A massive thank you to the organisers, Bede Events & The Thoresby Park team, for putting on such a fantastic event, and to everyone who came over to support us. We loved every minute and are already looking forward to next year!
