Can you provide a couple of photos of the problem please? Maybe one showing the tree overall and a close up or two of problem areas. And can you please confirm you're actually in the UK - sawdust and holes smacks of tree borers, but we don't have those in the UK....

Try Googling Leopard Moth larva. They are big grubs which are found in old apple trees in Britain.
