– The team quickly grows to approximately 10 people.

– Craig Coggins joins the team, contributing to the expansion of Mepstead’s capabilities and services.

– As the team rapidly expands, the existing office space proves inadequate to accommodate the growing workforce.

– Stella joins the company as a newly registered surveyor, bringing her expertise and skills to enhance the company’s surveying capabilities.
