Mace, a leading global delivery consultant and construction expert, has appointed Brian Conlon as the new country director for Saudi Arabia to drive forward the company’s expanding operations in the kingdom.

 

Reporting to Managing Director of Middle East and Africa Christopher Seymour, Conlon will be

responsible for overseeing the growth, performance and service excellence of Mace’s Saudi business, which currently employs more than 700 professionals.

 

He joins Mace with more than 35 years of industry experience including most recently holding the

position of Regional Director at AtkinsRéalis, where he led a team of 400 professionals working across some of the largest projects and programmes in Saudi Arabia.

 

Prior to AtkinsRéalis, Conlon spent more than 20 years in senior positions at Arcadis and EC Harris,

leading major commissions, bids and establishing new business operations in several locations

including the United Kingdom, India, North Africa, and the Middle East.

 

This appointment supports Mace’s global growth plans that have included a number of recent

international leadership appointments in key positions following the succession of Jason Millett as

Group Chief Executive at the beginning of this year, and Davendra Dabasia as CEO of Mace Consult.

 

Seymour said: "With a leading presence across giga projects and major programmes in Saudi Arabia, Mace is playing an important role in the kingdom’s transformation under Vision 2030."

 

"We have ambitious growth plans for Saudi and the wider region focused on expanding our delivery

capabilities across key markets and sectors, from cities and places to infrastructure and mobility," he stated.

 

"Brian will play a central role in this growth, leading our team in Saudi to deliver global best practice for our clients that supports the development of local communities," he added.

 

On his appointment, Conlon said: "Mace has a strong reputation for working on, and delivering, some of the largest, most iconic and most complex projects and programmes in Saudi Arabia and the wider region. Working alongside our clients, we want to further expand our operations and enhance our capability and track record of innovative delivery throughout the kingdom."

 

"I look forward to working with the Mace team, our clients and communities to deliver positive impact in Saudi and the wider region," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
