Building’s order book stands at £2,249m, compared to £2,047m last year including 25% in education, 30% in defence and custodial, 15% in facilities management and 5% in health.

Infrastructure’s order book is £1,464m, compared to £1,396m last year, including £626m in infrastructure (highways) and £838m in environment (water).

  • £5.1bn Defence Estate Optimisation Portfolio
  • £4.5bn Southern Construction Framework

At 30th June 2023 Galliford Try had no debt or pension liability and a cash balance of £220.2m (2022: £218.9m).

Chief executive Bill Hocking said: “Our commitment to robust risk management, careful contract selection and operational excellence continues to underpin our performance and prospects.  We are doing what we said we would do, consistently delivering increased revenue and profit, supported by our great people, a strong balance sheet, excellent order book and good supply chain and client relationships.

“Our high quality order book provides visibility and security of future workloads. Our business is not exposed to the short term economic cycle as our sectors are critical to the UK’s future growth.  Together with our excellent people and our strong balance sheet, this gives confidence in our ability to deliver our sustainable growth strategy to 2026 and beyond and continue to provide long-term sustainable value for our stakeholders.

“We are encouraged that the momentum in the business has carried into the first quarter of the new financial year and our expectations for the full year to June 2024 have now increased.”

NuGen Properties built an extension to the rear of my property, replacing the old conservatory. I am so pleased I chose this company. From the initial quotation, through the build and after they were professional, polite & well mannered. They kept the site tidy throughout the build and kept me informed of each stage as it happened. The work was finished to a good standard and I have had nothing but compliments on their work. I am already planning for them to come back and do some more work for me in a few months. I would 100% recommend them.
