Macro delivers significant growth in 2017

Macro has reported a solid revenue growth of 28% in 2017. 

Macro is Mace’s facilities management business. The previous 12 months have seen Macro’s turnover increase substantially from £94m to £120m. It was also a year of consolidation for the company, as separate regional elements of the Macro business were bought together under the leadership of Group Managing Director Ross Abbate.  

A number of key contract wins bolstered Macro’s international growth, increasing the locations in which the business delivers facilities management services to more than 40 countries, working across a huge range of different sectors and clients.  

Mace, Macro’s parent company, saw profits more than double to £23m, with a £50m investment in research and development, with turnover remaining broadly constant at £1.97bn. 

In November 2017, Mace internally launched its 2022 strategy. As part of that strategy, Macro has re-aligned its objectives for the next five years with a focus on securing long term contracts operating on a global platform internationally.

The business has additionally concentrated efforts to attract, develop and retain talent, and can report an increase in employee numbers globally of 26%. 

Ross Abbate, Macro’s Group Managing Director said

“2017 has been a great year for Macro. Our numbers are now stronger than ever, with turnover increasing by 28% to £120m. Over the last five years we have seen fantastic organic growth, thanks to the expansion of our client portfolio and our focus on delivering an innovative and superior workplace experience. 

“Mace’s 2022 Business Strategy will ensure that Macro continues to develop the business in this way and will secure our position within the market as a leading outsourced facilities management provider. Credit must go to all the individuals who continue to drive and develop the business, and who strive to make the most of every opportunity that comes their way.”
