Galliford Try plc is a British construction company registered in Uxbridge, London. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and is currently a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

History

The company was created in 2000 through a merger of Try Group plc, founded by WS Try in 1908 in London, and Galliford plc, founded by Thomas Galliford in 1916.[2]

Try Group

Try was founded by W S Try, a carpenter, in 1908. Try operated as a general contractor until the beginning of the 1970s, when Try Homes was formed. Despite acquisitions, housing remained on a relatively small scale, peaking at around two hundred units a year in the beginning of the 1990s.[6]

Galliford

Galliford became a public company in 1965, having initially been developed as a civil engineering business. It then entered the private housing market in 1973 with the acquisition of Crabb Curtis. The housing contribution was late extended through Stamford Homes and, in 1998, the acquisition of Midas Homes, by which time the group was building around five hundred houses a year.[3]

Galliford Try plc

Between 2005 and 2015 the company was led by chief executive Greg Fitzgerald.[4][5] The company expanded its construction business acquiring Morrison Construction from AWG plc in March 2006[6] and Miller Construction from Miller Homes in July 2014.[7] It entered the housebuilding business acquiring Gerald Wood Homes in 2001,[2] Chartdale in January 2006,[8] Kendall Cross in November 2007,[9] Linden Homes in February 2008,[10] Rosemullion Homes in December 2009[11] and Shepherd Homes in May 2015.[12]

All the individual house building divisions were re branded as Linden Homes in 2011.[13] In February 2018, following the January collapse of Carillion (Galliford Try's joint venture partner, with Balfour Beatty, on the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route), Galliford Try said it would need to raise £150m to pay for cost overruns on the project;[14] in November 2018, the company said delays would cost an extra £20m, taking its total project hit to £143m.[15]

CEO Peter Truscott said the company's construction division would no longer undertake fixed price major projects of this kind.[14] On 27 March 2018, the company confirmed it had successfully raised £158m in a rights issue.[16]

The company is organised as follows:[17]
