The Cotswolds is home to some of the UK’s most prestigious private estates, each requiring highly skilled staff to operate machinery safely, maintain beautiful landscapes, and comply with health and safety legislation.

Tuppco is proud to deliver professional, accredited training to a wide range of Cotswold estates, helping landowners and estate managers ensure their teams are competent, confident, and fully qualified.

Whether working with a large country estate or a smaller private landholding, Tuppco provides tailored training solutions designed around each client’s individual requirements.

Supporting Cotswold Estates with Accredited Training

Every estate has different operational needs, from grounds maintenance and forestry to farming and estate management. Tuppco understands these challenges and offers a comprehensive range of accredited training courses through three nationally recognised awarding bodies:

• Lantra
• NPORS
• Qualsafe

These recognised qualifications provide estate staff with the knowledge and practical skills needed to work safely and efficiently while meeting industry standards.

Experienced Training Led by Industry Professionals

Tuppco was established by Bertie Tupper, an approved Lantra and NPORS instructor with extensive practical experience.

Before founding Tuppco, Bertie successfully owned and operated a fencing and landscaping business, delivering projects throughout Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. His hands-on experience gives him a genuine understanding of the day-to-day challenges faced by estate teams, allowing training to be delivered in a practical, engaging, and relevant way.

Alongside Bertie, Tuppco works with a trusted national network of approved instructors, ensuring clients have access to specialist expertise across a broad range of training disciplines.

A Wide Range of Training Courses for Estate Staff

Tuppco offers training across many of the key skills required by modern estates, including:

• Tractor operator training
• ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) training
• Ride-on and pedestrian lawn mower training
• Lift truck and telehandler operator training
• First Aid courses
• Chainsaw training
• And many other land-based and workplace safety courses

Training can be delivered on-site wherever possible, allowing staff to learn using the equipment and environment they work with every day.

Tailored Site Visits for Every Estate

Before recommending any training programme, Tuppco offers a site visit to meet with estate management and gain a full understanding of operational requirements.

This consultation allows the team to:

• Identify the most appropriate training courses
• Assess existing equipment
• Recommend suitable training locations
• Discuss venue and practical requirements
• Develop a bespoke training plan that minimises disruption to estate operations

This personalised approach ensures every course delivers maximum value while meeting both operational and legal requirements.

Over the years, Tuppco has delivered training for a wide range of large and small Cotswold estates. The company understands that many estates value discretion and confidentiality when working with external providers.

For this reason, Tuppco prides itself on maintaining complete client confidentiality and is happy to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) where required. This commitment to professionalism has helped establish long-term relationships with estate managers, landowners, and rural businesses throughout the region.
