MEP is delighted to announce the team’s relocation to Cheltenham.
After just 18 months of working out of our office in Tetbury, which has been our base since the inception of our company, the increasing demands of our business have meant that MEP has had to relocate to larger office premises which we have found in Cheltenham. This relocation enables us to deepen our relationships with existing clients, whilst continuing to position us at the forefront of new opportunities in the South West .
Cheltenham has historically been our hometown, with MEP’s MD, Paul Fong, having set up Hunter Page Planning in this stunning spa town back in 1993. MEP’s new office is located in the centre of Cheltenham and provides bright new office space, allowing most of our team to walk to work.
Since the forming of MEP in 2023, our team has doubled in size; in the last 12 months alone, we have hired two graduates, a senior planner and an office manager. This growth of the company has exceeded even our most ambitious expectations, the direct result of the fantastic MEP team and a rapidly growing client base, alongside the delivery of an increasing number of innovative projects across the country. We are grateful to all our clients for contributing to our growth and it has been a pleasure to work with you all.
Our new office provides plenty of room for expansion and, as we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to fostering strong relationships and delivering excellence across all our projects.
It is quite clear that the new Labour Government has laid down the foundations for further economic and sustainable growth, and we look forward to playing our part in the delivery of further sustainable development during their time in office. We certainly envisage a more positive planning future for England.
