The firm held an event to celebrate the opening of the Gatwick office, welcoming leaders and representatives from both Crawley and Surrey County Council.
The new base expands the company's presence as it looks to deliver more projects that play a key role in the county's future. The opening comes shortly after the successful completion of L3 Technologies' new flight simulator production and training facility on Gatwick Road in Crawley.

It was designed to promote an agile, collaborative, project-led working approach, and will accommodate both pre-construction and operations staff, with partners and customers also encouraged to utilise the space.
Russell Miller, Willmott Dixon Director for Delivery in Sussex, explained: "Willmott Dixon has been well established in the county since 1930 when we built Bailiffscourt at Climping near Littlehampton for Lord Moyne. Since then we've grown across Sussex and opening our new Gatwick hub, close to where many of our people live, is a natural evolution.
"Gatwick is a thriving area and has, along with Sussex, a really bright future with many bold and imaginative initiatives to encourage growth and investment. We want to be part of shaping that by basing ourselves in an area close to our partners and customers."
The event also saw Chestnut Tree House – the children's hospice for Sussex –presented with a cheque for £7,104.12 which was raised by the team at Willmott Dixon following a sponsored skydive.
