Galliford Try has secured new projects in the healthcare sector that could also have positive implications for construction recruitment.

Firstly, the group has been awarded a £29 million contract to build the Hagley Road retirement village in Birmingham for the ExtraCare Charitable Trust, with construction work set to start on this development in October.

Chief executive Greg Fitzgerald commented: "This award is testament to our proven track record in delivering not only high-quality residential schemes, but also the community facilities that make these self-contained developments a real success."

Moreover, Galliford Try has also reached financial close on the next stage of the South East Essex Local Improvement Finance Trust programme, comprising two construction jobs for the district's primary care trust in Westcliff worth £5 million and £5.3 million respectively.

Earlier this week, the group revealed that it had also secured a £50 million contract to help build a gas plant in the Shetland Islands and a £23 million contract to build a west London residential scheme, both of which could also generate new jobs in construction.
