Tony Lucas. BSc (Hons), FdSc, MarborA. NPTC Assessor, Lantra Instructor, Aerial, Ground Based and +F Trainer, Loler Inspector (Arb), LOLER Lantra Instructor.

I am an NPTC Assessor in all aerial chainsaw units and all of the ground units. I am technically evaluated for all the units I train by NPTC and Lantra. I am also qualified as a Lantra trainer and can deliver Lantra courses for Kingswood.  I’m also a LOLER examiner/instructor and assessor.

I have been involved in forestry and arboriculture for twenty years during which time I have worked for small and large tree surgery companies.

I have been training and Assessing at Kingswood since 2012, I find the professional and supportive environment allows me to give the students as much information and knowledge as I can, hopefully bringing out the best in them for their assessments.

Tony became one of the Directors of TreeHouse Training in Dec 2020
