GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED TO TWO NEW OFFICE CONTRACTS WORTH £77 MILLION

Galliford Try plc, the housebuilding and construction group, announces its Building business has been appointed to two new major office contracts worth a combined £77 million.

Firstly, the Building business has been selected as preferred bidder by Northamptonshire County Council to build its new headquarters in Northampton in a £38 million project.

The new 17,600 sqm four-storey building is intended to consolidate the council's existing offices in the town, and regenerate an area on the south side of Northampton town centre. In addition to the office space, a café will be created together with extensive hard landscaping around the site.

Secondly, offshore engineering company Subsea 7 has chosen Galliford Try to deliver its new office building at Sutton in Surrey. The £39 million project creates a new 150,000 sqft Category A office space and associated facilities on the site of the former Brighton Road car park.

Galliford Try Executive Chairman Greg Fitzgerald commented: "We are delighted that Northamptonshire County Council and Subsea 7 have entrusted us with such significant projects. We have a strong reputation in the office sector and we look forward to providing these two clients with the first class facilities they require."
