Lately, we’re so thankful that we’ve had the opportunity to grow. We’ve said hello to new clients, and to a brand new office at Easton.

We also said hello to some new team members, to ensure we always serve our clients to the best of our capabilities. Meet the three newest Summit brains – Sam, Hannah, and Drew. They’re already proving to be incredible assets to the Summit family, and we can’t wait to see what they do in years to come.
