ACE appoints new chief executive

Stephen Marcos Jones has been appointed as the new chief executive of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE).

He replaces Hannah Vickers and begins his role on 31 January 2022. 

Jones joins ACE after four years at UKPIA where he led on issues such as environmental regulation and promoting the sector’s opportunity to deliver decarbonisation in pursuit of net zero, while helping to articulate a vision for a sustainable future for the sector.

Jones said: “The last few years have been incredibly challenging for the UK economy, but where there is challenge there is also opportunity.

“It is already clear to me that our members are critical partners for government and our industry is uniquely placed to turn political ambition into practical reality. I am delighted to have the opportunity to help ACE’s members take a leading role in delivering a sustainable future for us all.”
