Meet Geraint, our founder

From a young age, Geraint had always enjoyed the outdoors, trekking, climbing, and long walks through the woods with four-legged friends. Through his teens he worked alongside his mother, an award-winning garden designer with her own company in the suburbs of London, ‘Jayne Thomas Garden Design Limited’.

After five years of working as a chef worldwide, the need to be outdoors with regular working hours drove the decision to change careers. A couple of jobs ensued; working as a gardener, then a landscaper, before hearing about arborists. Climbing atop living giants, the thrill of a big felling, and a deeper understanding of the nature we rely on.

After becoming a qualified arborist at Fodé Ouest, Nantes, Geraint joined his new colleagues at Vert d’Horizon. He gained a wealth of experience using various sophisticated rigging systems to tackle even the most challenging jobs. Having a more recent qualification, Geraint introduced new techniques to his colleagues, namely Static Rope Technique (SRT). Samuel DURAND, being the considerate and progressive-minded boss at Vert d’Horizon, organised a slot in the calendar for the whole team to be initiated in SRT, led by Geraint. The day was a great success!
