Global consultancy and construction company Mace has appointed Stephen Venney as its new country director for the UAE in a newly created role. 
 
Venney joined Mace in 2016 and brings with him 17 years of UAE experience in project management into the role, working both as a contractor and client representative. 
 
He has been helping Mace to redefine the boundaries of delivery for some of the most complex projects in the UAE.
 
Venney located to the UAE in 2005 taking up a project management role for a leading contractor in Dubai for 10 years. He then took up a client-side delivery role with a leading developer in Abu Dhabi, said the statement from Mace. 
 
During his time in the UAE, Venney has played a leading role in delivering high-rise tower schemes and complex museum projects, it stated.
 
Since joining Mace, Venney has led the organisation’s work on delivering project management services on the landmark mixed-use towers in Dubai, One Za’abeel. 
 
The two towers are connected by a record-breaking 225-m, 9,400-tonne cantilevered bridge known as ‘The Link’, which has required the collaborative effort from all project parties, being led by Venney.
 
In the UAE, Mace is currently delivering the Dubai Opera District, Ain Dubai, One Za’abeel, Expo 2020 Dubai, Reem Mall in Abu Dhabi and Stella Maris, raising the bar in sustainability, quality, health and safety, worker welfare standards and impact on local communities.
 
Venney's appointment comes at a time of growth and international expansion for Mace, with the company having stated bold 2026 targets in its business strategy.
 
Welcoming him into the fold, Mark A Taylor, Managing Director for the Middle East and North Africa, said: "This is a fantastic step forward as we look to grow and expand our service offering, across the Middle East and wider region. Venney has been with Mace for just over five years and his experience in tackling some of the region’s most complex and challenging projects and programmes, together with his technical background, will support Mace in redefining, adapting and innovating how projects are delivered in the future."
 
"Mace has always collaborated with our partners and supply chain in the UAE to shape record-breaking buildings, which ultimately requires the expertise and commitment of professionals like him," he added.
 
On his appointment, Venney said: "I am delighted to take on this new role, helping the organisation to deliver distinctive value to its clients. I will lead the team in contributing to the UAE’s grand vision for a sustainable future and focus on innovation, through the successful delivery of complex projects and programmes."
 
"I look forward to working with our teams at such an exciting time for growth and international expansion for Mace," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
