Mace's Stephen Jeffery

Mace has announced that Stephen Jeffrey, the firm’s group technical officer, has been appointed to its board more than two decades after joining the company as an apprentice.

The contractor also said it would be creating a group technical services team on the back of its 2022 Business Strategy, launched last year.

Jeffrey (pictured), who joined Mace 23 years ago as an apprentice MEP manager, has been the firm’s chief technical officer for the past eight months.

He said his board appointment “shows that no matter what discipline you focus on during your career you can always diversify to suit your career aspirations and with the right support achieve your ambitions”.

Mark Reynolds, Mace’s chief executive, said Jeffrey’s move to the group board “will ensure that we can continue to pursue a better way of doing things, transform ourselves at pace and can continue to deliver on our clients’ ambitions for the future”.

Mace, which is still building Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium in north London, recently secured a spot on the £100m Homes England framework for consultants, and Building recently revealed the firm’s construction arm had been confirmed as the winner of the £350m deal to build the Cube in Paddington designed by Shard architect Renzo Piano.
