The firm’s North East team has been appointed to the Outer West Leisure Centre in West Denton, via Pagabo’s Major Works Framework.
The project is backed by nearly £20 million from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.
It will replace the former West Denton Pool and existing All Saints Sports Centre, which are more than 50 years old.
New facilities
- 25-metre eight-lane pool
- Learner pool and splash pad
- Fitness studios and gym
- Café and library
In addition to creating 100 apprenticeship hours, Willmott will run two Building Lives Academy programmes for people aged 16-25, who are no longer in the education system.
