  • "Toby and the team at Focus On Forestry First provided a great course for forestry works manager, extremely useful for new staff and to formalise the knowledge base of our experienced teams in the National Trust."

  • "I have attended a few different FWM courses over the years - this latest offering from FFF is the best I’ve attended. It has an in-depth breakdown of the most important subjects and covers all areas of an FWM’s duties. It has clearly been developed by experienced and knowledgeable professionals, this was backed up by the delivery from Iwan who is an active and highly competent FWM, further improving the way this course is delivered. The presentation is interactive and allows for good group discussion and sharing of real-world scenarios and outcomes. This is vital for anyone new to being an FWM and the course overall is a brilliant refresher for those who are already a practicing FWM."

  • "The Forest Works Manager (FWM) Awareness Course coordinated by Focus on Forestry First and delivered by Iwan Loyd-Williams was both engaging and extremely informative. It really helped our company understand the legal requirements and expectations on the role of FWM, and everyone who attended left with a better understanding of their responsibilities when managing forest operations. The course clearly defined the roles and responsibilities of Landowner, FWM and Contractor, and gave a clear overview of the health and safety considerations for each stakeholder. I would highly recommend that larger companies deliver this training to their employees collectively"
