“I was looking to work in a high energy, fast-paced environment where I'm excited and motivated by the staff, clients, and opportunities for professional growth,” said Peel, who will lead the company’s marketing and client development efforts. "Tellepsen truly sets the benchmark for innovative construction firms dedicated to excellence for their clients.”
