2024 saw MERJE complete our 13th year in operation and, wow, have we seen some changes over that time. We’re incredibly proud to remain the trusted partner to our clients who have worked with us throughout these years as well as the new connections we have made in more recent times.
Last year presented a challenging market with political, economic, and regulatory challenges a plenty! As always, we strive to deliver consistent, high-quality support through reliable partnerships with all our connections through these hard to predict markets.
Let’s take a look back at 2024…
