The winners of the 2025 Pro Landscaper 30 Under 30: The Next Generation, in association with Green-tech, awards have been announced.

Now in its tenth year, the awards recognise emerging talent across the landscaping and environmental sectors, including arboriculture.

One of the winners is James Drewitt, managing director of CJ Tree Surgeons. Drewitt previously won Pro Arb’s Arb in Action, in association with Outwear, competition in August.

Drewitt comments: "I'm thrilled to win my first award after 10 years of building my business. I've faced many challenges, some seeming impossible to overcome. This achievement is a tangible symbol of my hard work and perseverance, inspiring me to continue striving for greatness. It’s a great feeling that motivates me to keep pushing forward and reaching new heights."

CJ Tree Surgeons is one of the West Midlands’ more established tree surgery firms, known for its recent growth. The company operates multiple teams and utilises modern equipment, serving commercial clients across Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and the wider region.

"James is a thoroughly deserving recipient of a 30 Under 30 award. The professionalism demonstrated by both him and his team was clearly evident to the judging panel," says Edward Brown, deputy editor of Pro Arb Magazine.

An awards ceremony for the winners will be held at the FutureScape 2025 expo on Wednesday, 8 October. It is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM at the London Excel Centre.
