Willmott Dixon secures Eston Pool development
Appointment follows successful leisure hub project in Morpeth
Willmott Dixon recently built a new academy in Togo.
Willmott Dixon's mission to enhance the life chances of thousands has again reached out to Africa, where a team re-visited the Togo village of Agome-Sevah to build a facility modelled on the successful 4Life Academy in Birmingham.
Project director John Muir spearheaded a group that spent two weeks fixing the academy ready for hundreds of local children to use each year. He was joined by engineers and apprentices from several branches who used their skills to complete the wiring, decoration and plumbing as well as fix the doors and windows.
Willmott Dixon teamed up with a charity called Dekamile, which works on projects in Togo, and raised over £12,000 to make the academy possible. It follows a similar project to build a health clinic built over two years ago in the same village.
John explains, “It was tiring, with work starting each day at sunrise and finishing at 6pm when it set. The academy provides three classrooms and a large assembly hall, which will give local people opportunities to learn skills that would not have been possible before. We’ve made a difference, and it will inspire us to continue doing the same back in the UK.”
