Future Urban Managing Director, Chris Vounasis, highlights the expanded service offerings: "The alliance provides Future Urban clients with improved access to specialised skills and experience previously unavailable in South Australia. It's a powerful combination, offering seamless and trusted advice with exceptional reach."
