Galliford Try reports fifth year of growth with record profit

Galliford Try reported its fifth year of growth, posting a record profit before tax of £45m for the financial year to 30th June 2025. 

This marked the highest profit since it became a standalone construction business in 2020. 

The group delivered a divisional adjusted operating margin of 3.0%, up by 0.42%, meeting its margin target a year ahead of schedule. 

Revenue rose 6% to £1.9bn, while average month-end cash increased to £179m, up from £155m in the previous year.

The order book reached £4.1bn, with 92% of work for the 2026 financial year and 75% for 2027 already secured. 

The group completed a £10m share buyback programme started in October 2024 and announced another £10m buyback.

Bill Hocking, CEO at Galliford Try, said: “Our dedication to careful risk management, Group balance sheet strength, professional and committed teams and collaborative quality-focused relationships with clients and suppliers have all contributed to this fifth year of sequential growth.

“As a UK only contractor with a track record of delivery in water, highways, defence, custodial, education and affordable homes, we are uniquely positioned to support the UK’s key areas of future spend and investment.

“The Group’s major framework successes and growing high quality sector focused order book provide clear visibility and security of future workloads well beyond the current financial year.”

Hocking added: “We are confident in the outlook for Group, our strategy to 2030 and commitment to continue to deliver long-term sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”
