Greg Fitzgerald

Greg Fitzgerald, CEO and acting chairman of Galliford Try, impressed the judges for having steered the company from a sub-拢100m market cap business to the 拢1.75bn FTSE 250 giant it is today. The transformation was underpinned last year when Fitzgerald spearheaded the company鈥檚 acquisition of Miller Construction, a fitting cap to a career that has seen Fitzgerald win a deserved reputation both as one of the industry鈥檚 most determined leaders, and as one of its most respected characters.

Fitzgerald, who has been with the firm for 34 years, was appointed to the board in July 2003, initially as MD of the housebuilding division. He was appointed CEO in July 2005 and then executive chairman on 21 October 2014. Prior to this, he was a founder of Midas Homes in 1992 and its MD when it was acquired in 1997, subsequently chairing Midas Homes and Gerald Wood Homes. He is also a non-executive director of the National House 好色先生TV Council.

Fitzgerald is due to retire from his executive position later this year, after leading contractor and housebuilder Galliford Try for a decade. Judge and 好色先生TV Value director Tony Williams paid his own tribute: 鈥淕rowth, mergers and pleasantness have all been part of his modus operandi. How often does that work?鈥�

The announcement that Fitzgerald is to step down came as the contractor and housebuilder reported its results for the years to 30 June 2014, with group revenue rising 21% to 拢1.77bn and pre-tax profit up 28% to 拢95.2m. 鈥淚f ever an award is deserved for added timeliness, this is one,鈥� said the judges.
