History of Kelly & Co Slipform

The Kelly name is synonymous in the Queensland kerbing industry. We are a 3rd generational family-owned road kerbing company established in 1973 by Noel Kelly trading as NM Kelly & Co. Noel a licensed drainer was heavily involved in commercial and subdivisional drainage in the late 60’s, early 70’s. Noel could see an opportunity to offer his clients the complete package so in 1973 he bought his first kerb and channel extruder machine.

In 1976 Noel’s son Shaun joined the family kerbing business progressively working his way up to a kerb finisher/operator learning all facets of the kerbing industry.

In 1986 Shaun established Kelcrete to tackle the new and innovative kerb markets such as coloured and exposed kerbs whilst subcontracting to NM Kelly & Co. The father and son team continued working together to build the family business.

In 1993 they bought their first slipform machine, a Power Curber 8700 which enabled the company to extend the services offered to clients including concrete barrier walls and concrete pathway paving. The company kept growing, while long-term competitors faulted.

Shaun’s son Liam joined the company in 2009 making it a third generational business. We are Brisbane’s oldest and longest standing kerbing company. With Liam now on board Kelcrete Qld Pty Ltd decided to fully embrace the new and better method of placing kerb being Slipform Kerb. We are the leaders in our field of slipform or wet pour kerbing.

With Shaun retiring in 2023, Liam has taken over the business and is dedicated to. upholding the same standards of excellence that Shaun established. Liam’s company was founded in 2017 Kelly & Co Slipform Pty Ltd & continues to provide our new and existing clients with same high-quality service.For all enquiries related to slipform machine laid kerbs, kerb and channel, barrier walls, footpaths, bikeways, dish drains , call Liam Kelly on 0438706310.
