Mace Construct will adopt the name Forco after the New Year, the UK contractor has announced. The business said the new name is short, impactful and easy to pronounce. It will continue to trade under the Mace Construct name until then, before moving to Forco.
The change follows the March separation of Mace Construct and Mace Consult into two businesses. Under that agreement, Mace Consult retained the Mace brand. Forco will be introduced with a new corporate strategy and productivity targets extending to 2030, rather than as a name change alone.
Mark Reynolds, executive chair, said the name reflects a commitment to being the UK’s most forward-thinking contractor and its most productive by 2030. He said Mace Construct, soon to be Forco, had spent 35 years raising standards and helping to drive the industry forward.
Reynolds added that the company’s culture, values and people would remain unchanged. Clients should expect the same teams, the same commitment to delivery and the same focus on creating lasting places and infrastructure, he said.
The announcement places the rebrand alongside long-term productivity goals, while the contractor stresses continuity for clients and project teams through the transition.
