GALLIFORD TRY SECURES £445 MILLION M74 COMPLETION CONTRACT IN SCOTLAND IN JOINT
                                    VENTURE

Galliford Try, the construction and housebuilding group, announces that Morrison
Construction, part of its infrastructure division, has been awarded a contract,
as part of the M74 Interlink joint venture, by Glasgow City Council to complete
the M74 motorway in Scotland.

Morrison Construction, together with its equal joint venture partners Balfour
Beatty Civil Engineering, Morgan Est and Sir Robert McAlpine, will be
responsible for a contract worth £445 million to design and construct an 8km
extension to the M74. This extension will significantly reduce congestion on the
busiest stretch of the M8 through Glasgow.

Interlink M74 Joint Venture will now commence the detailed design in readiness
for the commencement of construction work on site in May 2008. When complete at
the end of 2011, the extension will link the M74 from where it currently ends,
at Fullarton Road Junction near Carmyle, to the M8 just west of the Kingston
Bridge.

Greg Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented:

'We are delighted to be awarded this major project which demonstrates our
position as one of the leading infrastructure providers in Scotland. Our
highways expertise forms an important part of our overall civil engineering
capability which encompasses work for the water, rail, environmental,
remediation and renewable sectors. We look forward to working with our partners
to successfully deliver this important scheme.'
