Brymor Construction supports Southampton FC on new gym
Hampshire firm Brymor Construction have secured the contract to build a state-of-the art gym for Southampton Football Club.
Work has commenced on the complex at the Premier League side’s Staplewood training ground at Marchwood. The design and planning team included agents and quantity surveyors Mace and award-winning architecture and design practice KSS.
The new enhanced facilities, which include a new kit store, will be used by all of the Saints’ senior teams.
They include the women’s team which has just achieved promotion to the Women’s Championship, as well as the club’s development and academy squads.
The new building will treble the size of the existing gym from 150 sqm to 450 sqm and will further improve Saints’ training facilities. The new training facility, which gained planning consent in January from New Forest District Council, will be built as an extension to Staplewood’s Markus Liebherr Pavilion.

Brymor chairman Stephen Morton, said: “As a Hampshire firm it is a privilege to undertake this superb project for Southampton FC.
“The new gym will mean that Southampton’s elite footballers will have modern, state-of-the-art facilities to rival any Premier League side in the country.
“The club brings a great deal of prestige and economic vitality to the area, and we are proud to be able to play our part in helping it to even greater success on and off the pitch in the future.
“Many of our employees are Saints fans and they are excited about the prospect of becoming involved with the club.
“It is also another landmark project for us as we celebrate our 35th anniversary year. We are thrilled to get the project started.”
