Galliford Try appointed to school building programme in south London

Housebuilder Galliford Try has been appointed by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) as selected panel member for the Greenwich, Lewisham and Croydon Priority School Building Programme batch, worth more than £45m.

The selection marks Galliford Try's third since being appointed to the EFA's main contractor framework last year.

The programme will see the construction of six new schools across the region.

Galliford Try Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "It is great news that once again we have been trusted by our partners at the EFA to deliver these much needed new school buildings for the teachers, pupils and parents in south London.

"Our education offering continues to go from strength to strength and we look forward to furthering our relationship with the EFA across the country."
