ACE Finds New Chair
The Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) has unveiled its new chair for 2020.
Managing Director of Stantec UK Infrastructure and Buildings, Paul Reilly will take over the role from Mathew Riley who will become immediate past chair following his two year stint.
Commenting on his appointment, Paul Reilly said: "I'm delighted to take up this role at what is an exciting time for our industry. In the medium-term the challenge is how we evolve the value proposition we are offering to our clients – the foundation of ACE's Future of Consultancy campaign. Then there is the critical goal of a Net Zero society and the crucial role we all must play in achieving this, both in our organisations and through our projects.
"These will be the primary issues I hope to champion in my time as Chair. I also want to see the ACE better support its small and medium sized members and I look forward to listening to them in early 2020 and working with colleagues and the ACE Board to make that happen."
Chief executive of the ACE, Hannah Vickers added: "I know Paul extremely well from his time as treasurer of ACE and I'm sure we will continue our close working relationship together in his new role as chair. All of the staff and myself look forward to making progress on the three themes he has outlined."
Other appointments at ACE include David Beddell (AECOM) as vice chair (voice of consultancy), Chris Dulake (Mott MacDonald) chair of the International Business group, Margot Day (BuroHappold) chair of the Legal and Commercial group, and Paul Johnson (Arup) chair of the Northern Ireland group. Chris Young (Tony Gee) was appointed non-executive board member to ACE Emerging Professionals.
