GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED TO £106 MILLION IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONTRACTS

Galliford Try plc, the housebuilding and construction group, announces that it has been appointed to two new contracts in the affordable housing sector worth a combined £106 million.

In its largest ever single project, Galliford Try's Partnerships business has been selected by Notting Hill Housing to build the £81 million Great Eastern Quays project in East London.  The regeneration scheme will see the creation of up to 350 mixed tenure homes, as well as the development of public spaces alongside the river and the docks, including business, retail and leisure areas.

Partnerships has also been selected for a new £25 million contract with Registered Provider Coast and Country Housing, to build six new Extra Care developments in Redcar.  The project will see the creation of 225 units and ancillary facilities across the surrounding region over the next three years.

In addition, Galliford Try has secured £20 million of funding from the HCA under the Affordable Homes Programme 2015-18.  The award, which is the largest made to a commercial housebuilder, will go towards the creation of 858 affordable homes across the country.

Galliford Try Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald commented: "Affordable housing has become a real success story for our company across the country.  The selection of Partnerships for its biggest ever single contract by Notting Hill Housing is testament to the strength of the brand and the hard work of the team.  Likewise, our track record in Extra Care continues to resonate with clients and we look forward to working with our partners to produce high quality housing for their customers."
