Today marks the 20th Anniversary for Kellie Burns at UPco. Kellie is an exceptional Town Planner, but so much more than that too. Early riser, avid gardener, animal lover, fabulous mother, passionate mentor, industry leader – we love all the facets that make Kellie who she is, and are so lucky to have her on the team.

What’s UP, Hugh? Apparently, we can’t get enough of Hugh Smyth this month, so we invited him to sit down and dish the dirt.

But if you’ve ever wondered what he was like as a small child, now’s your chance to find out.
