Sawpod Throwpod Chainsaw Training Tree Climbing Tree Surgery Training

Tony Darbyshire, principle trainer, started his career in Arboriculture training in 1987 at the world renown Merrist Wood, Surrey. Leaving for a spell in Australia before becoming Short Course Co-ordinator at Sparsholt College, Hampshire. Sawpod Ltd was set up in 2005 by Tony and Di Darbyshire as an independent training company.

 

The Sawpod was born as a project which started with Tony strapping his pruning saw to his leg with insulation tape, Di used her Graphic Design background to bring the product to market. The Sawpod is now made in Cornwall, we are still working with our original neoprene supplier. The first Sawpod's were made from wetsuit offcuts! Now on sale and used around the world, it has many fans and has become an essential part of the Arborists kit!

 

The Throwpod was designed in 2013 as a joint veture between Tony and Marcus Nicholson (Arborpride - Sydney, Australia). Again, the Throwpod is manufactured in the UK by a British company. Another innovative project, designed to make the Arb's job a little easier.

 

All our packaging is recyclable and we continue to support the Orangutan's in Sumatra with a donation from each Sawpod sold.
