Feakes said: “I enjoy thinking outside the box, challenging the conventional for the benefit of projects and clients. Great engineering solutions are often the consequence of asking ‘is there a better way?’ and I look forward to helping our team use their skills and curiosity to drive innovation and value across the business. I’m honoured to be able to contribute to the next evolution of Mace and humbled to work alongside colleagues who make the impossible, possible.
“The disciplines of civil and structural engineering are hugely impactful to our industry and society. Through collaboration of our engineering team with consultants, specialists and the supply chain, we can deliver on Mace’s strategy to redefine the boundaries of ambition.”

His experience and knowledge in the world of engineering will drive forward our offering, joining up parts of the business to ensure we always deliver the best for our clients and projects. This is an exciting time for Mace as we pursue further growth internationally and as we continue to take on increasingly challenging and ambitious schemes as the business matures.”
