Galliford Try's Environment business has been appointed to the Tier 2 Delivery Partners Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation (MEICA) Framework as one of the five preferred suppliers, as part of South West Water’s (SWW) new engineering alliance ‘Amplify’. 
 
The alliance unites leading British engineering companies to deliver South West Water’s major infrastructure plan for 2025-2030 - worth £2.8bn, benefiting the local economy and the environment.  
 
The contract will cover SWW’s areas across Cornwall, Devon, Bournemouth, Isles of Scilly, and Bristol Water, and include planned works and responsive (reactive) works.  
 
Susan Davy, South West Water’s Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the importance of local investment: “We are planning to invest a record £2.8bn to upgrade our region’s water infrastructure – but it isn’t just about how much we spend, but where we spend it. We want to keep the pounds we invest locally so our supply chain and local people can benefit from our investment programme. By partnering with the best of British engineering firms, we are supporting local workers to deliver the improvements our customers want to see the most, whilst also creating jobs and supporting the wider South West economy. It is a win-win for everyone.” 
 
Mark Shadrick, Managing Director, Galliford Try Environment, added: “This appointment is a credit to the entire team and a reflection on the successful strong relationship we have built with South West Water over many years. Our Environment sector continues to be a key focus of our Sustainable Growth Strategy, and with the potential AMP8 programme in the greater South West, this will provide long-term sustainable growth to our local teams.”
