Mark Reynolds tells Theresa May to think again over policy to concentrate on high-skilled workers once UK leaves EU

Mace chief executive Mark Reynolds has said the government has completely ignored industry worries over access to labour once the UK leaves the EU next March.

The £2bn turnover firm is working on a string of blue riband projects including the late-running Spurs stadium, the first three phases of the Chelsea Barracks scheme and AstraZeneca’s new headquarters building in Cambridge.

Reynolds’ intervention is the most high-profile yet by a senior figure in the industry and comes after prime minister Theresa May said earlier today the UK’s immigration plan would focus on high-skilled workers and that no priority would be given to people from the EU.
