The story of how Mace Industries came to be formed and to flourish is an example of how a straightforward vision, combined with the right skill and expertise, can lead to remarkable success.

Brothers, Tony and Richard Mace recognised the need for a faster, simpler and less labour intensive way to get tiles to scaffolding at roof level – avoiding potentially dangerous ladder work. They worked to devise their own solution and made plans to build a machine that would fulfil this need.

Within months, and with significant support from their father Colin Mace, the first machine had been built and was subsequently trialled over the following year. From the humble beginnings of a prototype in a potting shed, the value of the machine to the building trade was quickly recognised. All who saw it – including seasoned roofing industry professionals – were impressed by the innovative concept. Interest in its design and application spread quickly as a result. Before the year of trialling was complete, the design had been modified and improved and the first ten machines were built.

The final step in this stage of the Mace Industries journey was to name the machine. Among the roofing community, the slang term for the loading of a roof was “bumping out”, so the machine became known as “Bumpa”. Today, the latest generation of “Bumpa” is the most popular portable loading machine on the market.

Since those early days, the company has gone from strength to strength, expanding its scope and product range and growing in both size and reputation as a result.
