The appointment follows Galliford Try's allocation last summer to Yorkshire Water's 'complex civils' framework covering the design, build and refurbishment of clean and waste water treatment assets, reservoirs and pumping stations. The total value of the framework is £1bn and Galliford Try expects to secure about £15-20m of work from it per year.

Ian Jones, Managing Director of Galliford Try's Environment business unit which includes Water, said: "This news rounds off what's been a very positive year for our water business. In addition to the Yorkshire Water work we've been successful in securing an extension with Southern Water from AMP6 to AMP7. We look forward to 2020 with great confidence."
