Our Team

Nick has forestry in the blood. Following a long line of Adams’ to have worked in the woods, from a young age he began learning all those vital skills that are traditionally passed down through the generations; hard work and a deep appreciation of woodlands and what they give us. This education, learned in the idyllic setting of the Forest of Dean, was the perfect start in a career that has so far spanned 25 years and taken him from Gloucestershire to Scotland and back again.
After leaving Hartpury College in 2000, Nick joined the family business as a forest craftsman operating a range of equipment from chainsaws and brushcutters to forwarders, in a wide variety of silvicultural and harvesting operations. In 2006 Nick set up as a sole trader providing forestry services to a range of clients. In 2013 Nick had the opportunity to move to Argyll on the west coast of Scotland to take up a role as a Standing Sales Harvesting Supervisor and in 2016 returned to Gloucestershire to establish Kilmaha with Mark.
In recent years, Nick has started writing about the forestry world, penning articles about his experiences and issues of the day for publications such as Forestry Journal and the SideCountry Network.
Nick is also a director of the Forestry Contracting Association (FCA) representing members across the UK with a particular focus on establishment and training/skills issues.
After leaving technical college in 2001, Mark began his extensive career as an operator working for a business in the grounds maintenance sector, building his skill set on a variety of projects. He soon progressed to managing the company’s portfolio of sites delivering grounds maintenance and landscaping services to clients throughout the South-West, South Wales and the Midlands. In 2016, Mark co-founded Kilmaha where he heads the grounds maintenance and landscaping team.
Mark is passionate about motorsport, particularly rallying and grass track racing. He can often be found on weekends either marshalling events or preparing cars for racing.
He is currently in the middle of a ground-up restoration of a Escort rally car.
