Biography
Climbingarborist.com was created by Daniel Holliday, with his idea to share industry knowledge among other arborists worldwide and hopefully create a great community and contacts in the process. Daniel has over 18 years experience of climbing within the industry. He has worked for various companies within the U.K including managing a company in west London for over 3 years, before selling to persue a life long dream to travel. Whilst abroad he worked for numerous companies in Australia and then Canada. The experience gained along the way has been invaluable, and Dan hopes this knowledge can be passed on to help people work in a safe and effective manner, using the right tools and methods for relevant tasks they are faced with.
Since Dan arrived in Canada, he started competing in regional and chapter tree climbing championships. In 2015 Dan competed in the Portland TCC, British Columbia TCC and the Pacific Northwest TCC where he placed third, second and third respectively. He went on to tin the BCTCC the following year in Kamloops. Climbing competitions have now become a large part of Dan's life, it is a fantastic way to meet like minded climbers, make great friends, watch other climbers and learn new techniques.
