Mace appoints Country Director for its UAE operations

Posted on June 10, 2021

UK-based global construction firm Mace appoints Stephen Venney as Country Director for its projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Mace, a global construction firm based in the UK, has appointed a Country Director for its projects in the United Arab Emirates. Stephen Venney, who joined the company in 2016 after leading other projects for contractors in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, takes on the role amid signs of improvement and recovery in the country’s construction sector.

Talking about his new role, Stephen Venney said: “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.”

What UAE-based projects has Venney led before joining Mace?

Stephen Venney, a UAE construction veteran for 17 years, has previously led Mace’s project management of Dubai’s Za’abeel high-rise mixed-use scheme, which included a 225-metre-long cantilevered bridge called The Link.

In addition, Mace is currently working on projects such as the Dubai Opera District, Expo 2020 Dubai, the construction of the Reem Mall in Abu Dhabi, and Stella Maris, a 53-story residential building located in the Dubai Marina.

Dubai’s construction sector has recently shown signs of recovery, with analyst GlobalData reporting that government-controlled developers in the city are planning new projects in response to prices “buoyed up by the UAE’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic”. The company hinted that this could mean larger infrastructure projects are to come in the near future if the recovery continues.

Mark A Taylor, Managing Director for Mace in the Middle Esat and North Africa believes Venney is a good fit for the role, saying: “Stephen has been with Mace for just over five years and his experience 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”.
