“Having been involved closely with Mace’s strategy – both as an external consultant and then in-house – I have seen how the business has grown, matured and is now more than ever able to bring a better perspective to bear on our clients challenges,” she said. “This is one of the most exciting times in Mace’s history, and I am looking forward to helping to shape our future.”

Departing board member Marcus Burley said: “During my time with the company, I have witnessed and been part of growing the number of people we employ tenfold and creating a business with over 30% of it outside the UK – something we have every right to be proud of.

“While I’ve now decided it’s time to pursue quieter activities, I have no doubt that the company will continue to prosper and leave its mark across major projects and developments globally.”
