I have ladder training next month (for when I start my new company). I hope that their suggestions are better than these.

In all seriousness, can you recommend me a decent telescopic ladder which can also serve as a decent six foot (ish) step ladder.

no. You'll need to buy 2 ladders, and make sure they're class 1 ladders if they're going to be used for anything heavier duty than surveys or repair work IMO.

I should really have a competition to spot all the Health and Safety infringements going on here.
Happy Christmas. Have a safe and prosperous New Year.

It will be light duty work up to and probably not higher than six foot up. I will also have proper ladders for higher work which come with come as standard with my van.
