             GALLIFORD TRY APPOINT HOUSEBUILDING MANAGING DIRECTOR


Galliford Try plc is delighted to announce that Greg Fitzgerald has been
appointed Managing Director of its housebuilding division and a director of
Galliford Try Plc with effect from 1 July 2003.  He will report direct to Chief
Executive, David Calverley.

Mick Noble will continue in his role as Managing Director of Stamford Homes,
Galliford Try's housebuilding business in the eastern counties, but will step
down from the Galliford Try Board with effect from 30 June 2003.

Greg Fitzgerald, aged 38, is currently Chairman of Galliford Try's housebuilding
business in the south west of England.  He was one of the founders of Midas
Homes in 1992, and was managing director when the company was acquired by
Galliford in 1997.  Midas has achieved significant growth as part of Galliford
Try, and last year turned over £49 million selling 305 homes.

Tony Palmer, Chairman of Galliford Try, commented:

'I would like to pay tribute to the contribution made to the Board by Mick Noble
during his period as a director since 1996.  He has greatly assisted us in
developing the housing business, but will now focus on the operational
management and direction of Stamford Homes.

'Greg Fitzgerald has been instrumental in the development of our highly
successful housebuilding business in the south west.  He has succeeded in
expanding it, both organically and by the more recent acquisitions of Gerald
Wood Homes and Knapp Homes, into one of the largest housebuilders in the region
and a major contributor to Galliford Try's successful and profitable
housebuilding business.  The Board is confident of the further growth of the
division under his leadership.'
