About Us

Inverness Tree Services was started by Iain Ogilvy as a sole trader some time before 1984, becoming VAT registered at the end of Feb 1984. From then the business grew steadily with increasing workload over the years, gaining experience of many, and varied, tree operations. Twenty years on, in Feb 2004, the business became Inverness Tree Services Ltd.

From April 2026, Iain has retired from full time tree work, concentrating mainly on tree surveys. All other enquiries for work will be assessed on a case by case basis, given that all plant and machinery remains available.
