The Pulse Group has appointed Matt Johnson as its new executive director of the company’s design and build division.

Under his leadership, the division is responsible for designing, constructing and fitting out leisure centres as well as completing refurbishments of existing facilities.

On his appointment, Johnson said: “Pulse has a fantastic reputation, with over 35 years of expertise behind them. I am looking forward to helping take the organisation into a new phase, broadening the range of projects that the business works on, and exploring opportunities for growth within the design and build sector.”
