GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED TO MAJOR NEW OFFICE PROJECT IN READING

Galliford Try plc, the housebuilding and construction group, announces that its Building business has been appointed to build the second phase of the Forbury Place development in Reading by clients M&G Real Estate and Bell Hammer in a £40 million contract.

The contract follows on from the successful first phase of Forbury Place, in the heart of Reading adjacent to the mainline rail station. The new building will create an additional 185,000 sq ft of Category A office space, over seven floors, to be built on top of the basement car park already established in phase one.

Peter Truscott, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: "It is excellent news that M&G and Bell Hammer have trusted us once more to build the second phase of the prestigious Forbury Place. The commercial sector remains a key driver for us, particularly in the south east, and we look forward to adding to our record of success with this major development."
