Mace chief executive Mark Reynolds
Mace has created four new divisional chief executive roles, as it announced a restructure to its group board and wider leadership teams.
The quartet of new roles will align with the company’s four “engines for growth”: Develop, Consult, Construct and Operate.
David Grover will be appointed as CEO for Develop, Jason Millett will be appointed as CEO for Consult, Gareth Lewis will be appointed CEO for Construct and Mark Castle will take on the role of chief operating officer. Ross Abbate will be appointed as CEO for Mace Macro, Mace’s Operate business.
Mace said it wanted to “empower and transfer full accountability” to the four engines for the delivery of its 2022 strategy goals. The divisions will have greater influence and control over their strategies, within the framework created by the group board. Each leader and divisional board will be responsible for client relationships, service delivery and overall performance.
Mark Holmes will also take on the role of deputy chairman of Mace as well as retaining a number of his current roles, including leadership of Mace’s people and talent and responsible business boards, as well as continuing to support North America and Mace Macro.
Richard Bienfait, previously announced as Mace’s new chief financial officer, will take up his role on the group board in January.
Mark Reynolds, Mace’s chief executive, said: "I am pleased to announce the creation of a number of new leadership roles at Mace alongside some changes to the composition of the group board. In particular, I would like to congratulate Mark Holmes on his promotion to deputy chairman of the group.
“Mace’s future relies on us being committed to our succession plans and driving strong and sustainable growth across our four ‘engines’; allowing our leadership teams to respond more quickly to the needs of our clients and colleagues."
