Galliford Try

Galliford Try Holdings plc is a UK-based construction group headquartered in Uxbridge and listed on the London Stock Exchange. Formed through the 2000 merger of Try Group, founded in 1908, and Galliford, founded in 1916, the company has evolved into a stand‑alone contractor focused on the building, highways and environment markets after selling its Linden Homes and Partnerships housing businesses to Bovis Homes (now Vistry Group) in 2020. It operates nationwide through regional offices under brands including Galliford Try and Morrison Construction and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. The group delivers building and infrastructure projects for public, private and regulated sector clients across the UK. Its activities are organised into Building and Infrastructure, supported by Investments and specialist Environment and Asset Intelligence businesses. In building, it constructs and refurbishes assets for education, health, defence, custodial and judicial, residential and commercial clients, providing services from design-and-build to construction-only and refurbishment, as well as facilities management and PPP/PFI projects via special purpose vehicles. In infrastructure and environment, it designs, builds, maintains and upgrades highways, water and environmental assets and provides long-term services across utility and infrastructure networks, working with all 13 major UK water and sewerage companies and agencies such as National Grid and water utilities frameworks. Through acquisitions of nmcn’s water business, Lintott, MCS Control Systems, Ham Baker Engineering and AVRS Systems, Galliford Try has expanded its water, low‑carbon engineering, packaged treatment systems, mechanical and electrical and asset inspection capabilities. Its Sustainable Growth Strategy to 2030 emphasises margin-led growth, digitalisation, decarbonisation and delivery of social and local economic value, underpinned by commitments on net zero carbon, community engagement and volunteering. In the year to June 2025 the group reported revenue of about £1.9 billion and employed approximately 4,300 people.
