MARK and Maria Coton, founder Directors, of Construction Consultants, Haldons Limited with two Devon offices at Exeter and Torquay, celebrated their 10th anniversary with a specially baked Birthday cake.

Mark, a Chartered Surveyor and a member of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, established the company with his wife Maria 10 years ago.

Formerly with a national consultancy based in Plymouth as leader of a team of Building Surveyors and Architectural Technicians, Mark later became office partner establishing a new office in Exeter before setting up his own firm.

A multi-discipline firm, Haldons provides a wide range of professional services in many sectors across the South West region and throughout the UK as a whole.

These include, Architectural Design, Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Cost Management and Premises Compliance. Since established 10 years ago, the team has grown to a team of eight.

In the last 12 months the firm has expanded further, with two new members of staff following the engagement of Mike Dunning a Quantity Surveyor and Tom Popham a Trainee Surveyor.

Haldons recently completed a £1.25m project at Sidmouth Victoria Hospital for Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust and the co-directors presented the Birthday cake to the team of therapists led by Clinical Manager, Martina Harrison.  

Mark Coton, Director Haldons Limited said: “It is hard to believe that the company has been going for a decade and continues to grow and thrive, particularly in this difficult economic climate. We wanted to mark this significant milestone with a special cake, which Maria and I presented to Martina and her team at Sidmouth Hospital.

"It was a thank you for their continued patient care during the 12 month construction works in and around the hospital.”
