Initially led by founding directors Peter Mosedale and Lachlan Yeates, Upstate welcomed Vincent West to oversee the commercial aspect in 2012. Now, the team has added Meschell Howarth (General Manager), Paul Ferrari (Head of Project Sales) and John Hall (Senior Business Development Manager), bringing the total count of business directors to six.

“A large team of committed, invested and experienced directors means you can always get hold of someone who cares,” says Meschell.

The new partnership promises to elevate Upstate’s prominence and introduce fresh perspectives to the table.

“Each of us knows the business very well and we know the community,” adds Meschell. “Our individual experiences will support the growth of Upstate and deliver the best business we can for our clients.”

Championing the Beaches

And completing the trio is John Hall, whose journey with Upstate began straight out of school. Having learned the ropes on the ground, John’s career speaks volumes about his dedication and passion, driven by an undeniable connection and shared values.

“If you’re looking for someone to Manage your property - you can’t go past Johnny,” says Meschell. “He heads up our business development unit and has years of invaluable experience and knowledge of investment properties on the Beaches.”

Meschell, Paul and Johnny’s loyalty is a testament to the company’s culture, and lays a solid foundation for a future that’s brimming with innovation, client-centric services and community engagement.

As Upstate enriches its team, the future appears brighter than ever. The strategic infusion of fresh perspectives, coupled with the wisdom garnered from years of experience, creates a synergy that’s bound to take Upstate to new heights.
