Housebuilding and construction group, Galliford Try, have been awarded two new office construction contracts, worth a combined £77m.

They have been chosen as preferred bidder by Northamptonshire County Council to build its new headquarters in Northampton in a £38m project.

The new 17,600 sq m four-storey building is intended to consolidate the council's existing offices in the town, and regenerate an area on the south side of Northampton town centre. In addition to the office space, a café will be created together with extensive hard landscaping around the site.

Galliford Try Executive Chairman Greg Fitzgerald commented: "We are delighted that Northamptonshire County Council and Subsea 7 have entrusted us with such significant projects. We have a strong reputation in the office sector and we look forward to providing these two clients with the first class facilities they require."
