Dear all:

I am the owner and principal consultant of a small arboricultural consultancy practice in the UK and employ 7 staff (5 technical, and 2 administrational). We are a young (4 years) company and are very forward thinking.

I am keen to be put in touch with a few companies in the US in a similar situation, hopefully 8 or more staff and ideally established for over 5 years to exchange ideas in a non competitive environment. This is with a view to me visiting the US some time in the fall of 2001 on a fact finding basis with the mutual benefit of both companies in mind.

The perfect company would be open minded and would be prepared to exchange ideas on how our respective firms do business in two very different countries and to share best practice information. Ideally they would be based near to New York or another easily accessible area for flights from the UK.

Perhaps you could post this email on your notice board or similar? If you could put me in touch with anyone who may fit this description I would be delighted.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Regards,

Jonathan Cocking
