Mace Group Ltd, commonly known as Mace, is a global construction business headquartered in London employing nearly 7,300 people, across five continents, and with a turnover of around £2 billion.[1]
History
The company was founded by a group of construction and architecture professionals, led by Ian Macpherson, who left Bovis in 1990 hoping to bring in a more collaborative way of working in the traditionally combative construction industry.[2][3] It prohibited its subcontractors from falsely claiming staff were self-employed.[4]
During 1997, Mace beat Bovis to be appointed as the project and construction manager on British Airways' Waterside headquarters at Heathrow.[2][5] Other early construction projects undertaken by the company included the London Eye and The Venetian.[6][7] The firm engaged in PFI projects[8][9] and post privatisation railway work.[10]
In 2009, Mace contracted to build The Shard, the tallest building in London, at a fixed price.[11] In 2021, it completed a ferris wheel in Dubai nearly twice as tall as the London Eye.[12]
In 2023, Mace's facilities management division was sold in a management buyout.[13]
