BTS Group arborists Dean De'Ath, Nathan Hall, Jamie Ling, and Mark Wiles travelled from Suffolk to Scotland and Northern Ireland to help with clear-up after Storm Éowyn.

Storm Éowyn's winds, reaching over 100mph in places, flung debris and took down many thousands of trees, damaging the power network and leaving over a million people without electricity at its peak. Scotland and Northern Ireland were hit particularly hard.

DNOs across the UK sent specialist staff and equipment to NI and Scotland in a collaborative effort to get people back on the grid. 

BTS Group, on behalf of UK Power Networks, sent teams to Dumfries and Belfast.
