The biggest contract in the capital is for Green Property (UK)  to create 100,000 sq ft of office space in the St James’s Park area worth £27m.

Also in London, Royal London Mutual Insurance have instructed Galliford Try to refurbish and extend 65,000 sq ft of office space at 1A Wimpole Street in a contract worth £8.9m.

In the Midlands, Galliford Try have also been engaged by Aviva Investors and Citycourt Estates to construct the new Warwickshire Shopping Park at Binley near Coventry.

The £13.5m retail park is expected to complete in January 2013 and will feature 24 retail units and community spaces, with Marks & Spencer, Boots and Asda already committed to the project.

Galliford Try chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: “We are delighted to have won such significant contracts in the commercial sector.

“The London office sector remains an important market for us, while the Warwickshire Shopping Park is yet another landmark project for Galliford Try in the Midlands region.”
