Mace Group

Common goals

Mace's programme management expertise was called upon to help deliver both facilities and management of the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games.

The games were at the time, the largest sporting event ever to have been hosted in the United Kingdom - attracting over a million visitors and 4,000 competitors from over 70 nations to the city. The Commonwealth Games took place between July and August 2002, within the newly-constructed £90m City of Manchester Stadium but also embraced a further eleven venues throughout the Manchester metropolitan area.

Mace played a pivotal role in the XVII Commonwealth Games, programme managing and integrating the work of more than 200 functional groups involved in every aspect of games preparation, from construction to catering. Mace programme managers worked closely with each of these groups to develop accurate and detailed baseline programmes, combining them within a master programme that became the focus for project planning throughout the lead up to the games.

Mace was also responsible for stakeholder consultation, leasing with public sector bodies such as the city council and GMPTE on issues ranging from transport to ‘dressing' the city streetscape; with the general public; and with the many professional and service organisations associated with the event.
