About Mace

Mace Consult launched as a new and independent business on 5 March 2026, through a carve-out from Mace Group. Mace Consult and Mace Construct are now two independent businesses following the completion of a majority investment in Mace Consult by Goldman Sachs Alternatives. Mace Consult will continue to grow and develop under the Mace name, leveraging the strength of the brand’s global reputation in delivering exceptional programme and project delivery. Mace Construct will rebrand later in 2026. Until Mace Construct rebrands, we will continue to post news, views and achievements from both businesses on this LinkedIn account.
