Located in the north-eastern coastal town of Redcar, the Leisure and Community Heart forms a key part of the town’s wider regeneration programme, drawing on Redcar’s long association with steelmaking.
Hambleton Steel was instructed by Willmott Dixon to deliver the structural steelwork package for the new Redcar Leisure & Community Heart - a major leisure centre and civic office development designed to serve the wider community.
The project comprises a multi-use leisure facility incorporating sports halls, swimming pool areas, civic office space, and associated amenities. The steel frame solution included approximately 1,225 tonnes of hot rolled steelwork and 19 tonnes of cold rolled sections, forming the primary structure across the development. Three large-span trusses were installed to the sports hall along with four cellular beams to the swimming pool area, with the paint specification adjusted to meet the requirements of the chlorinated environment.
Project Challenges
The scheme was delivered within a tight site footprint, making logistics and delivery coordination critical to maintaining programme. Careful sequencing and close collaboration with the main contractor ensured efficient installation despite restricted access and high activity levels on site.

Earning industry experience and a qualification has been invaluable. Not every opportunity gives you on-the-job experience and I've found that this has really helped my development
One of the reasons I chose an apprenticeship was because I could earn and learn at the same time. Working at Hambleton Steel has provided me with day-to-day training and experience which has helped me understand the industry and business.
Working with Hambleton Steel on Manchester City Campus College was an enjoyable experience for ourselves and the wider design team. Hambleton brought their knowledge and skill by collaboratively working with the whole team from RIBA Stages 2/3 until completion by problem solving, giving advise on buildability and bringing efficiencies to the design to ensure it maintained within budget.
They’ve done a cracking job on here for us and I personally would have no hesitation in using them again.
Pleasure working with you and your team, and great turnround on the scheme and a good finished product with no major issues on site along with a final account agreed, cant do much better than that. Happy to put you forward where we can and would definitely work with yourselves again.
