Mace has appointed Hannah Vickers as its new global head of advisory, tasked with growing the service within the company’s Consult business.
Vickers has previously served as the company’s chief of staff for the last three years, having joined the business in 2021. Before this, she served as chief executive of the Association for Consultancy & Engineering. Prior to this, she was an adviser to ministers at HM Treasury.
In her new role Vickers will lead the advisory consultancy, responsible for the creation of strategies, business cases, and delivering transformation for clients, investors and sponsors across the world.
In the last year, Mace has seen an increase in demand for business and strategic advisory services across the four global hubs, and it has ambitious plans to grow the service through leveraging group capabilities to bring practical insights to increase delivery confidence, enhance productivity and create value.
Vickers said: “As Mace Consult has accelerated its growth across the globe our capabilities have developed too. This has in turn opened the door for us to expand our advisory services to clients, investors and sponsors.
“The world is only increasing in complexity, with the need to mobilise private finance, navigate political change, achieve net zero and deliver more productivity we’re in a unique position to advise clients. I’m excited to take this forward with a world-class team underpinned by qualitative analysis to bring confidence to our clients during this period of uncertainty.”
Mace says she will retain membership of the Construction Leadership Council where she leads on productivity and net zero.
As part of the move, David Hendy will step into the role of chief of staff for group chairman and chief executive, Mark Reynolds. Hendy joined Mace in 2017, and for the last five years has led Mace’s corporate communications function. He was appointed communications director in January 2024.
Davendra Dabasia, chief executive of Mace Consult, said: “Shaping cities and helping clients build sustainable communities across the globe is in our DNA and Hannah’s consultancy experience and expertise in delivering complex solutions for major organisations will be a significant asset to our clients.
“From socio-economic assessment and strategic planning to value-based commercial strategies, risk management and assurance, Mace’s unique expertise means we are in a position to advise our clients long before a programme or project breaks ground.”
