Thanks to Llinos Medi, MP for Anglesey, for arranging the delivery of our new lanyards provided by the National Centre for Learning Welsh. 

They help JK Construction and Menai Windows customers and clients easily identify who they can engage with in Welsh, supporting learners and encouraging more Welsh conversations. Purple lanyards for learners and black lanyards for fluent Welsh speakers! 

We raised £300 for Save the Children UK during 2025's #ChristmasJumperDay!

Exciting news as Menai Windows joins the John Kelly Group. 

They have relocated to JKCS HQ, Star, Gaerwen, Anglesey, LL60 6AN.

Work is progressing well on our site in Penygroes for Adra with the first timber frames installed on site this week provided by Lowfield Timberframes. Timber frame homes provide many benefits including energy efficiency, sustainability, speed of construction, and design flexibility. 

This week we took delivery of a brand new Manitou Telehandler from our long term suppliers Glyn Lloyd and Sons. The machine has been put to good use straight away on our site in Penygroes.

John Kelly Construction are delighted to offer work placement opportunities for two of the Academi M-SParc members (Josh & Eliana) to develop their skills for employment.

From M-Sparc: "Our latest Academy members! Josh, Cai, Chisom, Owain and Eliana are employed by ourselves, but placed in industry for 6 months in order to develop their skills, grow their network, and be in a great position to gain employment at the end of the experience. Thanks to the companies making it happen, Eryri Consulting, John Kelly Construction, CELS, and IONA Minerals." 
"This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund."

We're sponsoring Bangor Cricket Club! Here are couple of photos showing our sponsorship board up on the grounds.

Supporting local organisations helps John Kelly Construction build strong community relationships, and contributes to local growth, showing our commitment to the areas where we work. 

Absolutely delighted that our Site Manager Rhun Williams has been awarded with the NHBC Seal of Excellence and the Wales Small Builder Regional Award at the Wales NHBC Pride in the Job Awards.  

These awards demonstrate exceptional leadership and commitment to the development of homes of the highest quality. 

Many congratulations to Rhun, and all the JK Team, suppliers and sub-contractors involved on the Bro Eglwys Development.

Congratulations to Lisa – Strategy Manager at John Kelly Construction who graduated with a doctorate at Aberystwyth University. Her thesis was entitled ‘The Perceptions of Career Success in the Construction Industry in Wales’. 

Lisa hosted workshops at the CITB Wales ‘Women in Construction' event alongside other North Wales companies to inspire young female pupils from local secondary schools to consider a career in construction.

In the John Kelly Construction activity 60 learners from Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern, Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen and Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle had the chance to the use remote control machines to simulate real-world construction tasks, learning about teamwork, coordination, and the role of machinery in modern construction.

Thank you to Gunn JCB Ltd for their kind donation of resources for the event and thank you to everyone at the CITB.

As part of our work at Parc y Coleg, Bangor University we arranged for the removal and restoration of this antique heritage gate. 

The gate was refurbished and powder coated before being fitted in its new location at Treborth Botanical Gardens where it can be admired for years to come.

John Kelly Construction recently completed the re-development of Parc y Coleg at Bangor University.
The key improvements to the park infrastructure include:
- a new accessible pathway across the park linking with Pontio.
- a new safer entrance off Deiniol Road linking to the city centre. 
- relocating the original historic gate to a protected setting in Treborth Gardens.
- creation of usable lawn areas to encourage new activities.
- provision of new lighting to improve safety after dusk.
- management and selective thinning of existing vegetation to open the views and improve safety along the footpaths.

As always, we are grateful to our excellent JK Team for their professionalism throughout the work and to our local suppliers and subcontractors for their skillful work on this project.
We look forward to seeing the whole community enjoying this place.
