In 2017, Pryor and Rickett Silviculture began a journey to expand its client services to Scotland. We were the new kid on the block, then with personnel of just one. Equipped with a clear vision and backed by decades of experience in managing the full range of woodland asset types, we set about building a client base and expanding our team. Five years later, we stand as a team of a dozen professionals and an impressive portfolio of properties for clients who value the depth of our experience and the quality of service we offer. It’s been an exciting and rewarding journey, but we’re not stopping here.
The path of sustained business growth continues and the opportunities that lie ahead are genuinely exciting. If you’re looking for a career in forestry that is rewarding and challenges you to be your best, then perhaps this isn’t just another advert for a forest manager. Moreover, we offer an opportunity to be part of a passionate and committed business that values and actively supports each team member in their role. Focused on delivering forestry advice to the highest standards, we offer a flexible approach to achieving work-life balance.
