Galliford Try appointed to new £3bn affordable home framework

(Sharecast News) - Construction group Galliford Try said on Monday that its building business has been appointed to a £3bn affordable homes framework by major registered provider (RP), The Hyde Group. The business has been confirmed on all seven lots of the new main contractor framework across the East, South and London regions the 120,000-home RP operates in.

The framework runs for five years and is targeting building 1,500 homes a year during that period.

Chief executive Bill Hocking said: "Delivering low to mid-rise apartment blocks for the affordable homes market is a key part of our Sustainable Growth Strategy to 2030, and we are delighted to have achieved a place on this major framework with a housing association that has a significant track record in development.

"We look forward to working with Hyde to bring forward the much-needed high-quality homes that their customers deserve."
