Proposed design of the new King Alfred Leisure Centre in HoveFollowing the appointment of Alliance Leisure earlier this year to oversee design and construction of Hove’s new leisure centre, Willmott Dixon has now been brought in as main contractor. The professional team, brought together by Alliance Leisure, will be led by GT3 Architects. Brighton & Hove City Council decide to replace its pre-war King Alfred Leisure Centre in 2022 as it falls short of modern standards and would be too costly and tricky to modernise. Richard Poulter, managing director for Willmott Dixon Construction South, said: “We are excited to be appointed as the preferred contractor for this transformational project. Alliance Leisure director Tom Fairey said: “We are delighted that this hugely significant project has now taken another big step forwards with the appointment of Willmott Dixon.
