In a trading statement today Galliford Try says that a succession of recent contract awards mean that its financial results this year will be at the upper end of analysts鈥 forecasts.
This suggests revenue for the year to 30th June 2025 of around 拢1,830m (2024: 拢1,773m) and pre-tax profit of around 拢35m (2024: 拢31m).

- two building projects in London with a combined value of 拢87m,
- the 拢88.9m South East Aylesbury Link Road,
