I’m Bertie Tupper, welcome to my website!
Hello, thanks for visiting!
Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Bertie Tupper, founder of TUPPCO. I’m a hardworking, independent, honest individual who thrives on success in a wide range of working environments. Working with others, leading a team or instructing, I have always achieved high results and have rarely missed a deadline.
I am extremely customer focused with an eye for detail and professional attitude. I am always keen to learn new skills, techniques and have always excelled under pressure.
I’m a 3rd generation farmer who diversified by following on in my father’s footsteps; I am a LANTRA & NPORS instructor and NVQ assessor in over 20 categories. I am a confident and proficient instructor/assessor due to my time working in agriculture, landscaping, fencing and construction throughout the U.K, New Zealand and Australia, over the past 15 years. I am also a thorough test examiner.
I have completed many landscaping and fencing contracts across the Cotswolds and my reputation for high quality work is widely known and have worked (and still do!) for a range of clients, including high profile and high-net-worth individuals.
I still enjoy being on the ground, operating machinery or helping to project manage rural work.
This website gives full details of my work past and present. Take a look around and get in touch.
