WINNER Stephen Pycroft

Executive chairman of Mace Stephen Pycroft was called 鈥渁 visionary鈥� by the judges. Not only because of the view from the top of the Shard, but for his 鈥渙utstanding service to the industry and company鈥�.

Since leading the management buyout of the company in 2001, is clear that Stephen Pycroft鈥檚 personality and vision have had an enormous impact on Mace. Made chief executive officer in 2004 and chairman in 2008, his drive and determination have been instrumental in refocusing the company to become a top UK contractor, winning some of the most prestigious contracts going.

According to one of the judging panel: 鈥淪tephen has kept his eye on the ball and ensured that Mace has become one of the most flexible and bullish firms in the industry in the fields of contracting, construction management and project management.鈥� He has 鈥渄rive and determination that has had a huge impact on our industry鈥�.

Pycroft has led the company to achieve extraordinary growth, on track to reach 拢1bn turnover in 2012, with profit in 2011 before tax up 10.5% to 拢23.2m. Expanding globally, Mace now has a presence in 69 countries and employs over 3,100 people worldwide.

Pycroft has presided over many project wins of schemes of headline-grabbing proportions - not least the 拢6.8bn build programme for the Olympic Delivery Authority alongside CH2M Hill and Laing O鈥橰ourke. But perhaps his most dramatic was the company鈥檚 outstanding project of 2012, the Shard, called by one of the judges 鈥渢he tallest and one of the most magnificent and important buildings in the UK鈥� - adding 鈥渁nd what ballsy action to bid it as a fixed price contract鈥�.

Although Pycroft has stepped down as chief executive as of January 2013, but he will remain executive chairman, and colleagues and Mace as a whole will no doubt continue to benefit from Pycroft鈥檚 鈥渇ocus, enthusiasm and sheer energy鈥� - as will the UK construction industry.
