Services

We don’t just manage projects. We deliver transformational outcomes.

Specialists in sports infrastructure solutions.

Ardent Sports specialises in the design, development and delivery of high-performance training facilities and sports infrastructure.

Our holistic approach includes strategic planning, design & concept development, and full project management, creating bespoke environments that help athletes and teams achieve their highest potential.

Our unique independent management programme handles all project aspects, relieving clients of the complexities involved and ensuring a seamless experience.

Ardent’s consultants, all former elite athletes, combine their expertise with evidence-based research, trends, and technology, to deliver sustainable facilities that support talent development and maximise commercial value.

Strategic Planning

We work in collaboration with key stakeholders to determine the strategic vision for the project. During this phase, we will also conduct wider investigations including usage and capacity evaluations, benchmarking, market assessments, feasibility and planning, to inform the project roadmap.

Design & Concept Development

This is where we bring ideas to life. Combining strategic direction with functional and operational requirements, we develop a design brief which ensures facilities are functional and aligned to the broader objectives of the project, working closely with independent specialists to create a design solution that is unique to your organisation’s requirements.

Project Management

Managing complex projects can be overwhelming. At Ardent, we aim to alleviate this pressure by handling all aspects of the project, acting as an intermediary between the client and contractors and suppliers. Our aim is to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for clients, enabling them to focus on their core activities.

Sports Specialists

We lead on turnkey solutions from concept to completion, delivering cutting-edge sports-specific environments to maximise performance, medical support, recovery, rehabilitation, nutrition, and welfare.

Every project is uniquely designed, expertly procured, and meticulously delivered to meet the highest performance standards. Informed by the latest research, innovation, and global benchmarking, our environments are future-proofed to support the evolving needs of athletes - both now and in the years to come.

Collaborating closely with a dynamic team of specialists and stakeholders, we translate vision into reality, creating spaces that empower athletes and support staff alike. It’s more than delivery - it’s shaping the future of elite performance and wellbeing.

“Ardent Sports' athlete-centred approach combined with their strategic and technical expertise helped us build facilities in our global strategic markets, that not only supports today’s fighters, but anticipates the needs of tomorrow’s elite talent.”

Our approach

Ardent’s approach aims to help athletes and teams achieve their highest potential, and we do this by prioritising user function.

From athletes to fans, media to visitors, support staff to commercial partners, we consider the behaviours and needs of every stakeholder to inform the project design, bringing multi-sport expertise, a strong understanding of the principles of human performance, and a holistic project management approach to every project.

Our aim is to deliver transformative outcomes by fully immersing ourselves in the business to gain a deep understanding of a client’s goals and requirements. We ensure a collaborative process with key stakeholders, focusing on defining the strategic vision before determining the finer details.

We adopt a ‘triple D’ process to every project; seamlessly integrating Design, Development and Delivery to create tangible performance improvements.

Every sport is different, with its own unique challenges and opportunities, and through our unique approach, we are able to create transformational environments that elevate sports performance.
