Galliford Try, the housebuilding and construction group, has announced that S4B, the Equitix-led partnership that includes Galliford Try and Contour Homes, has been appointed as preferred bidder for the £100 million Brunswick regeneration scheme.

The regeneration programme will transform the Brunswick area of East Manchester, providing 522 new homes as well as new community facilities, including an Extra Care centre and retail units. Additionally, extensive infrastructure works and remodelling will be carried out.


Leading repairs and maintenance contractor Mears will refurbish a further 653 homes and provide ongoing facilities management services under the project.

Galliford Try Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "We are delighted to have been part of the winning bid for such a significant project for the city of Manchester. This award is a further demonstration of our strength in regeneration, and our ability to successfully partner with local councils across the country to deliver the housing and facilities that communities need."
