Galliford Try, the UK construction group, announces that its Building division has signed two new contracts worth £101 million.

First, the Group's Building Southern business has reached financial close with the Home Office, through the Ministry of Justice framework, to complete the new £70 million facility at Campsfield.

Secondly, the Building East Midlands business has been appointed by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) to undertake the £31 million PRIDE II project at RAF Wyton. The scheme consists of a combination of refurbishment and creation of new secure office space for UK Strategic Command.
