From January 2026 Mace Construct is reorganising into three separate business units for different markets: Commercial; Infrastructure; and Public Sector, Science & Technology.
The three divisions will be led by existing managing directors Ged Simmonds, Nigel Cole and Rob Lemming respectively.聽
As part of these changes, Alister Grey will continue to lead on data centre opportunities in the UK and Ireland within the new Public Sector, Science & Technology business unit.
The current Mace Fitout & Retrofit (also known as Mace Interiors, formerly Como) business unit will move into the new Commercial business unit. After seven years with Mace, this division鈥檚 managing director, Stewart Ward, is leaving the company.
The new operating model will come into effect after the organisation has separated from Mace Consult, a process announced in July following a majority investment in Mace Consult from Goldman Sachs Alternatives, which is expected to close in 2025.
Mace Group chief executive Jason Millett said:聽 鈥淢ace Construct is focused on remaining one of the UK鈥檚 leading contractors, and following a considered process of review we are moving to a new operating model that will allow us to focus more on what we do best - contracting, construction management and specialist services.
鈥淔ollowing Fitout鈥檚 move to the new Commercial business unit, Stewart Ward has taken the decision to pursue opportunities elsewhere. We extend our thanks to Stewart for his contribution and commitment during his time at Mace and we wish him success in his future endeavours.鈥�
