International Business Group
Many of ACE's member firms work internationally, underlining the significant reputation of UK consultancy and engineering firms for providing world-class consultancy services to clients across the globe. In order to keep abreast of international issues and to assist members working overseas, ACE has formed an International Business Group (IBG). This group, which is responsible for the development of ACE's international strategy and initiatives, meets four times a year and is chaired by Gavin English of WSP Group.
The group's main objectives are to:
- Engage with key international associations
- Direct ACE's dealings with international groupings EFCA and FIDIC
- Maintain dialogue with key key international funding agencies
- Influence the international procurement process
- Raise ACE members’ profile in the international arena

The IBG formed a sub group the FIDIC Task Force Group (FTF) in 2007 to give direction to the process of coordinating the 2009 FIDIC conference which was successfully hosted by ACE in London.
For further information on the IBG or the FIDIC task force contact Naomi Bari, ACE's senior international business executive.
