Galliford Try has been included in the FTSE 250 index for the first time since becoming a standalone construction company, marking a significant milestone in its recent growth journey.

The company's return follows five consecutive years of expansion since 2020 and comes after a strong set of results for the financial year to 30 June 2025. The business achieved its 3.0% margin target a year ahead of schedule, underlining the progress made under its Sustainable Growth Strategy.

Over the same five-year period, Galliford Try has delivered 352% total shareholder returns and £108m in shareholder distributions, supported by a newly announced £10m share buyback programme. The share price has also risen sharply, climbing from 103p in January 2020 to over 500p.
