Spradling, founded by

Bob Calvert and Stanley

Spradling more than

40 years ago, provides civil engineering and surveying services for municipalities, counties, state agencies, utilities, and institutions not just in the Golden Triangle, but the North Mississippi region.

“Our commitment to clients on a local, personal level will remain unchanged,” said Calvert. “Stanley and I are eager to expand our design team, allowing us all to focus more on one-on-one client relationships, and our expanded team will continue to manage our client's project needs while also building new personal relationships, internally and externally.”

Spradling shares Calvert's excitement.

“Joining with NeelSchaffer will allow us to continue our focus on quality relationships with clients and in providing a quality engineering product,” Spradling said.

Neel- Schaffer President and CEO Joey Hudnall, a Columbus native who started his career with his father's Columbus- based firm Hudnall Engineering, is excited for the merger to strengthen the firm's roots in the Golden Triangle.

“We are honored to join forces with CalvertSpradling,” said Hudnall. “We have had a wonderful working relationship with them through the years, with my father's firm and Neel- Schaffer. They are known for being an honest organization with high integrity and it's great that we are able to come together to serve our clients in the communities where we have both been for over 40 years.” ac
