Mace Group is preparing to rebrand its construction business, marking a significant shift in the group’s structure following a major investment into its consultancy arm by Goldman Sachs.
The move represents a strategic repositioning designed to give Mace’s consultancy and construction operations clearer, independent identities as each business pursues its own growth ambitions.
A new identity for the construction business
Mace’s construction division, currently operating as Mace Construct, will adopt a new name and brand later in 2026. While details of the new identity have yet to be revealed, the rebrand is intended to reflect the construction arm’s distinct focus, culture and future direction.
During the transition period, the business will continue trading under its existing name while employees, clients and partners are consulted on the development of the new brand.
Why the change is happening
The rebrand follows a landmark transaction in which Goldman Sachs took a majority stake in Mace’s consultancy business, providing capital to accelerate its global expansion. As part of this evolution, the consultancy arm will retain the Mace name, while the construction business steps forward under a new identity.
This separation allows both organisations to:
- Clarify their individual market propositions
- Focus on distinct growth strategies
- Attract investment and talent aligned with their specific goals
For the construction arm, the new branding is expected to support continued growth across UK building, infrastructure and regeneration projects.
Preserving heritage while looking ahead
Mace has played a prominent role in shaping the UK’s built environment for decades, delivering high-profile developments and complex construction programmes. The rebrand is not intended to distance the construction business from that legacy, but rather to build on it with a clearer, future-facing identity.
Leadership has emphasised that the construction arm will retain its delivery expertise, client relationships and operational capability — with the brand change providing a platform for the next phase of growth.
What happens next
Work on the new construction brand will continue throughout 2026, with a formal launch expected later in the year. Both the consultancy and construction businesses will continue to collaborate where appropriate, while operating as increasingly distinct entities.
The rebrand marks a pivotal moment for Mace’s evolution, signalling confidence in the strength of both businesses and their ability to thrive independently in a competitive market.
