Galliford Try lines up new building chief for 2026

Galliford Try has shaken up its senior ranks with the promotion of long-serving operator Cliff Wheatley to its executive board.
Wheatley steps up to Divisional managing director of Building from 1 January 2026, taking over from industry stalwart Ian Jubb, who will retire in June after nearly two decades steering the contractor’s building arm.
Wheatley joined Galliford Try through the 2008 Miller Construction acquisition and has run the Building North East and Yorkshire business since 2014.
