Welcome Megan

3 November 2025

We are delighted that we have a new member of the team; Megan Packer who joins as a Graduate Planner. Megan has completed her undergraduate degree in Human Geography and Planning at Cardiff University. MEP is sponsoring Megan to pursue a part-time Masters degree in Spatial Planning and Development at Cardiff University.

Meganโ€™s academic background has given her a strong foundation in the social, environmental, and economic factors that shape the built environment. She is particularly interested in how planning can help create more sustainable, and well-connected communities.

Outside of work and study, Megan enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible, whether thatโ€™s running, hiking, or exploring new places when travelling.
