Galliford Try has been named as a finalist for two prestigious accolades by the plc Awards, which recognise the achievements of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market.
The Company of the Year Award seeks out a company that has clearly shown that success is not a short-term phenomenon, demonstrated by progress on share price, sustainable profitability and championing stakeholder interests, with emphasis on corporate governance, ESG matters and communication. Meanwhile, the CEO of the Year Award acknowledges a leader with a clear vision for the company, who has shaped a strategy that resonates throughout the company from top to bottom.
Galliford Try recently reported its fifth consecutive year of revenue and margin growth since 2020, to £1.9bn and 3.0% respectively, including the achievement of the 3.0% margin target a year earlier than expected.
The business has delivered 352% total shareholder returns for the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2025 with the share price rising from 103p on 3 January 2020 to in excess of 500p. During 2025, the share price high was 539p (2024: 396p), with the full year dividend increasing 23% to 19.0p year on year.
The Group subsequently made its debut to the FTSE250 as a standalone construction business in October 2025.
Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: “Our business has made excellent progress over the past five years, delivering consistent, predictable returns and we are delighted to have been recognised once again by the plc Awards for the way we have delivered for our shareholders and the communities we work within.”
