Galliford Try Holdings PLC (LSE:GFRD) revealed its building business won two contracts worth a combined £56mln.
The construction group was appointed to the £26mln Oasis Restore Secure School in Kent, on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.

Galliford will also build the £30mln Worthing Integrated Care Centre development, which will provide a GP, mental health, community and dentistry services, a pharmacy, a multi-storey car park and extra services for families and young children.
Bill Hocking, Galliford's chief executive, commented: "Our sustainable growth strategy of maintaining strong positions on public sector frameworks and collaborative relationships with local authorities are borne out by these two contract wins.”
Its shares rose 1.1% to 172p on the news.
