Extract values from a column following a pattern and place them into different columns

I copied and pasted table data from a PDF. In this operation, the correct rows and columns from the PDF are lost, I end up with all the data into on single column in Google Sheets.

What I try to do is to be able to automate the placement of the data into several columns. In my below example we can see the data follows a pattern: data is organised every 3 rows

Start table:

I tried several ways with arrayformula, split, flatten, etc. I just do not know how to repeat action every 3 rows.

Expected result:

Column A Column B Column C
Requirement 1 To do Mark
Requirement 2 Done Steve
Requirement 3 To do Steve

Many thanks!

>Solution :

You may try this formula:

=wraprows(A:A,3)
