Mace appoints Hannah Vickers as new chief of staff

The international construction firm Mace has appointed Hannah Vickers as its new chief of staff.

Ms Vickers is currently the chief executive of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) and will join Mace in July.

She will directly support chief executive Mark Reynolds, and the company’s executive board, embedding its new 2026 business strategy.

Her primary task will be helping to embed the company’s new 2026 Business Strategy across Mace’s four Engines for Growth; driving growth and the delivery of our purpose and strategic priorities, with a particular focus on the net zero carbon agenda, construction to production and digital and data.

‘Our new 2026 business strategy has set some very bold and ambitious goals for Mace over the next five years; and our focus now must be bringing our plans to life across the organisation; driving organic growth in our target markets and embedding our new purpose and priorities,’ said Mr Reynolds.

‘Hannah is a highly effective leader who has delivered a number of major industry change programmes over her time at ACE, and has advised Ministers at HM Treasury on infrastructure delivery policy. I’m thrilled that she is joining the business at such an important time and I look forward to working with her to realise our ambitions.’

Ms Vickers joined ACE in September 2018 from the Institution of Civil Engineers. Prior to this she worked for Infrastructure UK, part of HM Treasury and the Environment Agency.

‘I’m extremely proud of what ACE achieved in my time in charge and I am sure that my successor will be able to take our good work to new heights,’ she said.

‘I’d like to thank colleagues for helping to bring my ideas to life. Whether providing a space for members to discuss the future of consultancy, helping them through the pandemic with relevant and timely support, or moulding the organisation to better reflect the world we now work in, our people always delivered despite sometimes difficult circumstances.’
