Galliford Try boss confident of Scottish projects

The head of Galliford Try's construction arm reiterated his support for the Scottish Government's infrastructure investment policies which he said are helping keep the market in Scotland in better shape than south of the Border.

Ken Gillespie said strong activity in public-sector markets helped the company's Morrison Construction business make progress amid challenging economic conditions during the year to June when it increased turnover and employee numbers in Scotland.

"The Scottish Government have very early realised the economic benefits from infrastructure investment and been very active in identifying a pipeline of projects and transforming that into real work on the ground," said Mr Gillespie.
