It’s that magical time of the year when emails slow down, diets fly out the window, and everyone repeats the phrase, “Wow, this year really went fast, hey?” But it’s also that time of the year when everyone is taking stock of what has been achieved in 2025; whether it’s your child’s school report or your company’s year-end review. Here at Wallace and Green, it’s no different.
Let’s reflect on some of Wallace and Green’s highlights of 2025:
