Galliford Try plc is a British construction company headquartered in London. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is currently a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. ==History== The Company was created in 2000 through a merger of ''Try Group plc'', founded by WS Try in 1908 in London, and ''Galliford plc''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Company History – Galliford Try Plc )〕 Galliford’s roots date back to 1916, but the steamroller hire business was closed down during the Second War. Thomas Galliford’s four sons later re-formed the business and Galliford & Sons was incorporated in 1952. Galliford developed primarily as a civil engineering business but it entered the private housing market in 1973 with the acquisition of Crabb Curtis. The housing contribution was late extended through Stamford Homes and, in 1998, the acquisition of Midas Homes, by which time the group was building around 500 houses a year.〔Wellings, Fred: Dictionary of British Housebuilders (2006) Troubador. ISBN 978-0-9552965-0-5〕 Try operated as a general contractor until the early 1970s, when Try Homes was formed. Despite acquisitions, housing remained on a relatively small scale, peaking at around 200 units a year in the early 1990s.〔 The Company acquired ''Morrison Construction'' from AWG plc in 2006〔(AWG sells building arm to Galliford ) Telegraph, 2 March 2006〕 and ''Kendall Cross'' in 2007.〔(Galliford Try buys Kendall Cross for £9.3m ) Building, 15 November 2007〕 It entered the housebuilding business acquiring ''Gerald Wood Homes'' in 2001,〔 ''Chartdale'' in 2006〔(Galliford buys Chartdale for £67m ) Contract Journal, 19 January 2006〕 and ''Linden Homes'' in 2007.〔(Galliford Try buys Linden Homes for £244.5m ) Building, 8 February 2008〕 As part of a drive to increase housing unit output Galliford Try acquired ''Rosemullion Homes'', and ''Wrights of Hull'' over the last six months of 2009. All the individual house building divisions were re-branded as Linden Homes in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galliford Try」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
