Contollo Group has appointed Matthew Mackey as director, bringing nearly three decades of senior commercial leadership experience across the UK and Australia.
Mackey joins the construction consultancy with expertise in cost planning, procurement reform, benchmarking, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) strategy, digital transformation and commercial leadership.
His advisory work spans healthcare, aviation, commercial offices, sport, education, retail banking and infrastructure projects in both countries.
He most recently spent nine years with Arcadis in Australia, where he established and led the firm’s Australian Cost Management business, growing it from a single consultant to a national team of more than 25 specialists.
He is a chartered quantity surveyor and fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and author of the Unengineered newsletter.
At Contollo, Mackey will focus on commercial leadership, market intelligence, procurement strategy and cost advisory services, working to strengthen the group’s market presence, develop client relationships and support its national expansion.
Mackey said: “Moving from a global corporate giant to a company such as Contollo is a great opportunity. The market is calling for agility, commercial realism, accountability and direct access to experienced leadership.
“That’s exactly why I joined Contollo. We have the capability to go toe to toe with the major global players, combined with the speed, flexibility and entrepreneurial drive that large corporates struggle to maintain. My focus is clear: unite our specialist teams into one high performing platform, accelerate national growth, and make Contollo a household name in construction consultancy.”
Contollo Group chief executive Ruth Percival said: “Matthew is one of the most progressive commercial leaders in the industry. His appointment reflects our ambition to build a consultancy platform that combines specialist expertise with modern, value driven delivery. He brings the strategic clarity, industry influence and commercial leadership needed to accelerate our growth and challenge the status quo.”
Contollo continues to expand its national footprint, bringing specialist consultancies together under a single platform.
