This appointment reflects the importance of nurturing strong partnerships, fostering talent, and driving meaningful impact within our community. My passion lies in strengthening these areas further as MBP continues to grow and diversify. The company already excels in delivering outstanding client success stories, empowering its team, and supporting the local community, and I am eager to build on these strengths. The future is bright, and I look forward to contributing to the next chapter of MBP’s success.”

Company Founder and CEO, Mark Blundell, shares in Kirsten’s enthusiasm for the company’s prospects and welcomes her addition to the Board.
