BUILDING ON SUCCESS

Eoghan Daly reports on a small fleet working in the south-east of Ireland, which has recently been bolstered by a used Hyundai HX220 excavator, hosting a new Daemo hydraulic breaker

Having obtained his civil engineering degree, Ciaran Kelly gained much industry experience working with prominent companies in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. However, it was always his intention to return home to Ireland, to establish his own local groundworks and plant hire business, serving customers in the south-east of the country.

C. Kelly Groundworks was duly established with a used Hitachi 135US reduced swing radius excavator. That soon gave way to a new Komatsu PC138US-11 model, which Ciaran purchased in 2018, along with a Komatsu PC29MR mini-excavator.
