The results were due to be posted this Thursday and Galliford said it “will provide an update with a revised results date in due course.”

A Stock Exchange announcement added: “The Group confirms that both the outturn for the year ended 30 June 2024, and outlook remain consistent with the trading update dated 11 July 2024 with revenue and pre-exceptional profit before tax expected to be above the upper end of analyst forecasts at that time. 

“The Group entered the year with a high quality £3.8bn order book (2023: £3.7bn) positioned across its chosen sectors with 92% of FY25 revenue already secured.

“The Board is confident in the outlook for the current financial year and is encouraged by the momentum in framework and sector wins, which align with the strategy to 2030 outlined in May 2024, and underpins the opportunity to deliver further strong performances and sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.”
