I made the mistake of just checking the e-mail before dashing off - so I'll
be brief.
1. The pursuance of TrustMark status was driven by contractors who wanted
recognition, but were unable or unwilling to subject themselves to AAAC
assessment
2. AAACs will be automatically awarded that status

Approved contractor status should be the level that all professional
contractors large or small aspire to and all potential users large or small
turn to when seeking professional contracting services.
To suggest that another level of accreditation is required merely detracts
from the worth of both and WILL add to the confusion no matter what rhetoric
is bandied about.
Arboriculture needs to give a clear and succinct message to its client base.
"This is THE standard you should expect/demand"
The Arboricultural association should be making sure all these bodies
government, construction industry etc recognise that AAAC status is the
standard and therefore all AAAC's should be trust mark etc etc accredited.
