ACES represents around 260 public sector bodies and has approximately 350 participating full members. Retired and Honorary members also play an active role in ACES. Management of ACES is undertaken at the national level, through ACES Council, which is made up of elected and nominated officers.
We work closely with partners including the Government Property Function, RICS, NHSE/I., ADASS, CIPFA, SPACES etc.
The principal objectives of ACES are:
- To influence the formulation of regulation, policies and strategies governing the use of public sector property assets
- To promote opportunities and best practice in the effective use and management of assets in order to support organisational priorities of the public sector
- To equip our members in their work by supporting and encouraging them in the continual development of their personal and professional effectiveness
- To seek representation from every local authority and public sector body
There are nine ACES branches to cover the whole of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales plus a Rural Branch.
