Mark Holmes joined business in 1992
Mace deputy chairman Mark Holmes is stepping down from the firm鈥檚 board at the end of the year, the company has announced.
He will stay on the shareholder board but is leaving the executive board after being appointed deputy chairman three years ago.
Holmes joined the business in 1992 as a project manager to work on a new corporate headquarters for British Airways and was Mace鈥檚 30th employee at the time.
He said: 鈥淚t has been a privilege to play my part in the development of this great company. Loyalty is an underused word these days, but it has been great fun and I leave the business with only fond memories.鈥�
The firm now employs close to 8,000 staff and has a turnover of just over 拢2bn.
Holmes will remain as chair of the board at Mace Operate 鈥� one of the firm鈥檚 four business arms 鈥� and will take on a new role as the Chief Executive of the Mace Foundation, Mace鈥檚 independent charitable foundation, succeeding Dennis Hone, the firm鈥檚 former finance chief, who steps down in December.
Paying tribute, Mace chairman and chief executive Mark Reynolds said: 鈥淸Mark] has been a foundational part of Mace鈥檚 success and has been an invaluable support to me.
鈥淢ark鈥檚 personal legacy, aside from the growth of Mace from a small project management consultancy to a global consultant and contractor, is his unwavering commitment to sustainability, inclusion and Mace鈥檚 role as a responsible employer.鈥�
