Willmott Dixon Group is a privately owned construction, housing and property development business.[4]
History
The company was founded in 1852 by John Willmott.[5] In 2001 Rick Willmott became the fifth generation of the Willmott family to lead the business.[5] In 2013, Willmott Dixon invested £1 million in the 4Life Academy which is located in Perry Barr, Birmingham.[6]
Operations
Willmott Dixon has three divisions:[7]
- Capital Works
- Regen
- Support Services
Major projects
Major projects include Woolwich Central, the largest ever development by Tesco's in-house development business Spenhill, comprising an 80,000 sq ft supermarket and 259 homes over 17 storeys.[8]
Its development division called Regen is also working with Poplar HARCA to redevelop the Aberfeldy estate over ten years to create 1,176 new homes, shops, healthcare and community facilities created over 12 years. The work replaces dilapidated 1950s-era housing to provide a better living environment for residents, complete with new shops and open, green spaces for recreation.[9] The company is also working with Circle to create Orchard Village, renewing a 1960s era estate into modern homes for hundreds of families.[10]
