The Uxbridge-based Galliford Try group secured the funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) under the Affordable Homes Programme 2015-18. The money will go towards building 858 affordable homes across the country.

 

The group has also managed to win the contract for building the £81m Great Eastern Quays project in East London, a regeneration scheme that involves the creation of up to 350 mixed tenure homes, as well as the development of public spaces alongside the river and the docks, including business, retail and leisure areas.

 

Galliford Try chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said affordable housing has "become a real success story for our company".

 

He added: "The selection of partnerships for its biggest ever single contract by Notting Hill Housing is testament to the strength of the brand and the hard work of the team. Likewise, our track record in Extra Care continues to resonate with clients and we look forward to working with our partners to produce high quality housing for their customers."

 

As expected, such major undertakings across multiple sites are likely to involve a large number of contractors and subcontractors, all of whom must be thoroughly security vetted each time they access the company’s premises or various building sites.

 

This is exactly where Time & Attendance South East could put its extensive experience to very good use.

 

We supply an extensive range of time and attendance and access control systems that are user-friendly, innovative and designed for the working environment. Our systems also offer a wide array of features, such as support for contactless smart cards (which would really come in handy in a busy, dusty construction environment), as well as optional finger print biometrics and mobile phone SIM card support.

 

Moreover, the multi-user, networked, multi site Time and Attendance, Access Control, Fire Roll Call and security system includes European Working Time Directive checking and reporting and allows administrators to save up to 2000 employees, supports extensive shift management and payroll-related operations, the allocation of various pay bands, and much more.
