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 at least four times a year and is chaired by Gavin English of WSP Group.
