Duncan Edwards Leisure Centre

The Challenge

Duncan Edwards Leisure Centre is an £18.2 million multi-use leisure facility delivered in partnership with Alliance Leisure and ISG, featuring pools, gym and fitness studios, sports hall, spin studio, soft play, wellness suite and café. Hensall delivered a fully coordinated mechanical and electrical package, managing complex integration of services across diverse environments including wet leisure, fitness, and public areas. The scope included HVAC, domestic services, plant and pipework systems, power distribution, lighting, specialist pool systems, and life safety installations, alongside full coordination of procurement, commissioning, and documentation. Careful planning and sequencing ensured all systems were integrated and fully operational, delivering a high-performance, multi-use facility.

"I am delighted we have been able to produce such an outstanding leisure facility – the first in the borough for a generation. The facilities it boasts are second to none and I am sure new and existing visitors to our leisure centres will be overwhelmed with what we have to offer."

Councillor Simon Phipps
Cabinet Member Responsible for Leisure

"We are delighted to see this brand new facility come to life with an inclusive mix of facilities and services that meet local strategic outcomes and the needs of the community. Incorporating the soft play area and power assisted exercise studio will extend appeal to a much wider audience. The centre will dramatically improve the quality of sport and physical activity provision in Dudley to help encourage more people to adopt healthy lifestyles."

Julia Goddard
Regional Director, Alliance Leisure

“Having worked with Hensall recently on projects such as Nobu Hotel Portman Square and The Landmark Hotel, Marylebone, we were pleased to learn that they were to become part of Beck Interiors’ project team on the refurbishment of The Dorchester Hotel. Their approach is really refreshing – they are proactive, professional and, in our experience, very collaborative problem solvers.”

Andrew Haskins – Managing Director – PSH Consulting
