New board and new name for technical consultancy

A Midlands technical consultancy has appointed a new board and name.

MEC Consulting Group, formerly M-EC Development Technical Consultants, has promoted Tim Rose to regional director in Leicester while adding Rob MacDonald as regional director in Birmingham and Dave Stockton as director of civils & structures.

Established in 2009, MEC has offices in Leicester, Birmingham and Brighton.

MEC’s managing director, Alex Bennett, said: “Since becoming MD in the final quarter of last year, I’ve had the opportunity to review our business goals and reprioritise. Key outcomes from this exercise were the need to broaden client awareness of the full suite of services we offer, and to expand our work with housebuilders and developers.

“To achieve this, we have deliberately recruited from within the housebuilding industry, appointing two well-connected and respected professionals in Dave and Rob. Both have two decades’ expertise working for regional developers and national PLCs, meaning they have an inherent understanding of the quality and service required, and are entirely commercially minded. This, coupled with our collaborative approach, is what we believe will set MEC apart.”
