The operation is part of Mace’s specialist services division and works with main contractors to help deliver major contracts.

A Mace spokesperson said: “Mace Construct has decided to phase out and close its logistics business safe in the knowledge that our long-standing logistics partners will continue to support us going forward.

“We are looking to capitalise on the industry appetite for vertical integration particularly in the building services area, which is becoming more significant.

“Clients are recognising the benefits of this approach, and we are aiming to leverage this opportunity across our Construct engine in 2025 and beyond.”

The Enquirer understands the move will hit around 20 staff with Mace hoping to reemploy them in other areas.
