       GALLIFORD TRY JOINT VENTURE WINS £32m OF WORK WITH YORKSHIRE WATER

Galliford Try plc is delighted to announce that Morrison Construction, in joint
venture with Earth Tech, has been awarded a £25.6million contract to upgrade
the Mitchell Laithes Waste Water Treatment Works for Yorkshire Water as well as
a £6.7million contract to construct new treatment facilities at the Lundwood 
Waste Water Works near Barnsley. Morrison Construction Water is part of 
Galliford Try's infrastructure division.

Both contracts have been secured as additional projects outside the current
framework contract for Yorkshire Water under its AMP4 programme. Earth Tech
Morrison is now the leading contractor by value awarded for such large schemes
having secured £55million of this type of business since April 2005

The Mitchell Laithes project, in the Spen Valley south of Dewsbury, forms part
of Yorkshire Water's strategy to improve facilities at the site so that it can
cope with greater flows and meet new effluent discharge standards proposed as a
result of the Freshwater Fish Directive to improve the quality of river water.

Work will start early in 2007 for completion by March 2010.

Greg Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of Galliford Try plc, commented:

'Galliford Try is delighted to be playing a major role in delivering Yorkshire
Water's infrastructure programme. Galliford Try is one of the leading
contractors to the water industry and our ability to secure projects over and
above the long term framework contracts we have with our water industry clients
demonstrates the resources and expertise we can bring to this important market.'
