Commenting on Galliford Try's success, Megan McLeod, Early Careers Manager, said: "Graduates and apprentices are the future of our organisation, providing a pool of talent that our business is dependent on. We are therefore committed to a regular intake of graduates and apprentices, and provide them with a challenging and rewarding experience where they receive hands-on experience, develop their technical skills and learn from some of the best people in the industry.

"As a values-driven, people-orientated organisation, we are delighted that our efforts have been testified by our graduates and apprentices themselves. We're particularly pleased that the ranking also recognises the success of our award-winning wellbeing programme 'Be Well' and our agile working practices providing our teams with a good work-life balance."
