Steve Francklin

Operations Manager (MEP)

“Although an out of the box thinker, I still consider myself primarily a strategist as opposed to a tactician and favour a collaborative Project Management approach with a focus on early engagement of all key stakeholders to identify and resolve any potential problems before they become actual problems.”

Steve is an experienced and motivated manager of multi-discipline and diverse projects across a wide range of industry sectors with demonstrable success in the delivery of technically complex and innovative applications particularly within scientific research and mission critical sectors.

Steve is a big supporter of early commissionability, prefabrication and modularisation strategies to de-risk project delivery and provide better clarity and certainty of cost and programme requirements. Steve is always looking for new and innovative technologies and approaches to further support the success of the project.

Aside from work Steve has two lovely, amazingly talented and equally demanding young children who keep him on his toes and most of their down time is spent together. Steve is an occasional golfer and culinary experimentalist (both with varying degrees of success) and keen endurance motorsport and international rugby fan.

Chris Jarman

Project Director

“My personal goal for MiCiM is to continue to build the strength in depth of our team, and to expand our offering to clients without compromising our ethos of honesty and quality of delivery. Also building stronger relationships with our clients, and the other stakeholders in our projects who will then want to continue to come back with repeat business.”

Chris has 38 years of experience in construction covering many sectors of the industry. Being qualified in both Building and Building services he has always fostered a collaborative and coordinated approach to the delivery of projects that bring construction and technical services together rather than the historic them and us attitude.

His philosophy has always been to create a “joined up” team approach from clients, consultants, disciplines and trades to deliver what the client expects.

When not working Chris enjoys walking, motorbikes, music and playing tennis – although his wife always beats him!

My focus is to ensure each project is setup to succeed, with the right personnel in place, the right processes and the right environment.

Marc has been working in the engineering and construction industry for nearly 30 years. Having originally started out as an apprentice in the heavy engineering environment of nuclear submarines, he progressed through the ranks to MEP management. He joined Mace Technology upon their inception in 2007 to focus fully on Data Centre projects. After 10 years with Mace Technology, he formed MiCiM with his fellow directors, starting as the Technical Director, Marc became the Managing Director in 2021.

Hard working, pragmatic and enthusiastic, Marc is a highly competent professional who focuses on project leadership and processes throughout the RIBA Project lifecycle.

When not working Marc enjoys going to the gym, swimming and watching his son play football. When he gets the chance he also enjoys pc gaming.
