Galliford Try is a national housebuilding and construction company delivering industry leading performance in the construction of a sustainable future.
Supply Chain
Our aspiration is to promote a more structured approach to supply chain management and promote our own principles and practices to those who we work with. By working closely with them, we improve the quality of service to our clients, increase efficiency and address key performance requirements
The Group continues to prioritise developing long term relationships with established and new product suppliers and service providers. Throughout its businesses the Group has relationships with architects, engineers and other consultants as well as with sub-contractors and materials providers.
By working closely with them, we improve our quality of service to our clients, increase efficiency and address key performance requirements in areas such as health, safety and the environment. The Group also has significant relationships with its providers of corporate services such as surety bonding, insurance and finance.
A new procurement initiative has involved our Group Procurement forum members visiting external businesses in different sectors to gain insights into alternative procurement approaches and purchasing systems.
The Group procurement team has maintained efforts to ensure the integrity of the housebuilding divisional timber supply chain, and accordingly 93% of timber orders in the financial year were chain of custody certified.
Kitchen fit-out waste study
Working with one of our suppliers, Symphony kitchens, we have established how much and what type of waste is generated by kitchen fit operations.
This has led us to prioritise areas for waste reduction in design and identify new ways of recycling waste material.
