Galliford Try completes sale of housebuilding businesses



Galliford Try has completed the disposal of its housebuilding businesses to Bovis Homes PLC.


The sale of Linden Homes and Galliford Try Partnerships has been achieved in a transaction valued at approximately £1.1bn, including shares, debt transfer and a £300m cash payment.

The sale follows Galliford Try’s decision to focus on its main markets in building, highways and environment.

Bill Hocking has been appointed as chief executive at Galliford Try Holdings PLC, a newly listed entity replacing the previous Galliford Try PLC on the London Stock Exchange.

Bill said: “I am excited by the bright future that lies ahead for Galliford Try as a well-capitalised, standalone, agile business and I look forward to working with our stakeholders to achieve our mutual objectives.

“We have struck a favourable deal for our shareholders and one that will benefit both ourselves and Bovis Homes for years to come.”
