ISG secures £27m brace of leisure centre jobs
The recent Construction Enquirer article highlights ISG's strengthened partnership with Alliance Leisure through two projects valued at over £27 million in North East Derbyshire and Durham.
A new £24 million leisure facility will replace the original Sharley Park Leisure Centre in Clay Cross, providing state-of-the-art new amenities to transform community leisure participation. The centre will include a 100-station gym, immersive cycling studio, wellness Innerva power-assisted studio to encourage active aging, four court sports hall, TAGactive arena and adventure play facility, cafe as well as a 25m swimming pool with six lanes, plus a learner pool with spectator seating. The facility will also feature a Citizens Advice centre, an NHS suite of services including maternity and children’s services.
In Durham, the Louisa Centre is set for an extensive overhaul and upgrade. This project will involve the transformation of the sports hall to create space for TAGactive, climbing walls, cyber towers, and spectator seating. Additionally, a new café and food & beverage outlets will be integrated into the double-height practice hall, featuring two party rooms and a new soft play structure.
On the third floor, a comprehensive remodelling exercise will deliver a number of new studio spaces, including multi-use, cycling, high-impact, and wellness studios. The area will also feature breakout spaces and a new kitchen to cater to the nearby nursery facility.
This project marks ISG's fourth refurbishment collaboration with Alliance Leisure in Durham, following successful projects at Consett Leisure Centre, Abbey Leisure Centre, and Peterlee Leisure Centre.

"In our most recent collaborations, we've elevated the concept of a leisure centre as a community hub – creating a range of additional facilities that help with life learning and employability upskilling. Through the creation of Abbey Leisure Centre and Peterlee Leisure Centre, we also actively supported local communities and businesses, ensuring 70% of project value spend was done so with localised supply chain partners.
