Mace (construction company)

Mace Group Ltd, commonly known as Mace, is a global consultancy and construction firm headquartered in London, United Kingdom, employing approximately 5,000 people, across five continents with a turnover in excess of £2 billion.

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 some new, more collaborative ways of working in the traditionally combative construction industry.

The Mace startup team got its first break in 1997 when it beat Bovis and was appointed as project and construction manager on British Airways' Waterside headquarters at Heathrow. The company went on to deliver the London Eye on the South Bank and The Venetian in Macau. In early 2009 Mace was appointed to deliver the fixed price The Shard tower above London Bridge station.

Mace rebranded in 2008, becoming Mace Group, expanding its service offers, spanning consultancy services and construction across the entire property life cycle.
