Association for Consultancy and Engineering

ACE represents the business interests of the consultancy and engineering industry in the UK. We are the leading business association in this field, counting around 800 firms - large and small, operating across many different disciplines - as our members.

There are two key strands to our work. First, through powerful representation and lobbying to government, major clients, the media and other key stakeholders, we promote the critical contribution that engineers and consultants make to the nation's developing infrastructure.

Second, through our publications, events, personal contact and this website, we provide a cohesive approach and direction for our members and the wider industry. In recognising the dynamics of our industry, we support and encourage our members in all aspects of their business, helping them to optimise performance and embrace opportunity.

Our fundamental purposes are to promote the worth of our industry and to give voice to our members. We will do so with passion and vision; support and commitment; integrity and professionalism.
