The Husqvarna H-team
At Husqvarna, we believe that the best tools are shaped by those who use them every day. That’s why we’ve brought together a global collective of elite professionals—arborists, climbers, and tree care experts—who live and breathe the outdoors. We call them the H-Team.
Handpicked from among the most respected forest and park professionals in their countries, H-Team ambassadors are more than just skilled users—they are our most demanding. Their deep knowledge, high standards, and real-world experience help us push the boundaries of innovation and performance.
From the forests of Scandinavia to the urban canopies of Australia, H-Team members share a passion for nature, safety, and excellence. Many are champions in international tree climbing competitions, educators, and pioneers in arboriculture. They test our equipment in the toughest conditions and provide invaluable feedback that directly influences the future of Husqvarna products.
In Australia and New Zealand, our ambassadors—Kiah Martin, Jamie Boston, and Scott Forrest—bring over 40 years of combined experience to the team. Their insights into the unique challenges of the local tree care industry have helped shape tools and techniques trusted by professionals around the world.
The H-Team is more than a group—it’s a global community of experts, united by a shared commitment to raising the standard of professional tree care. Be inspired by their stories, their skills, and their dedication to the craft.
