Contractor set to make shareholder payments after returning to profit

Galliford Try is paying back around £1.5m of furlough money it claimed in the first two months of its latest half year as the firm resumes dividend payments following a return to profit.

Chief executive Bill Hocking said handing the money back was “the right thing to do” after announcing a 1.2p per share dividend for the six months to December 2020. The firm posted a £4.1m pre-tax profit from a £5.6m loss last time.
