We had the privilege of attending the Wales NHBC Pride in the Job Awards in Cardiff — and what a day it was!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that our Site Manager, Rhun Williams, has achieved an incredible three awards for our Ffrwd Garreg Wen site in Penygroes:

🏆 Pride in the Job Award
🏆 Seal of Excellence
🏆 Regional Award

These awards are a fantastic testament to Rhun’s dedication, expertise and commitment to delivering homes of the highest quality, alongside the hard work and dedication of everyone across our sites.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do at John Kelly Construction, and to achieve recognition at this level is something we are extremely proud of. It reflects the care, craftsmanship and commitment that our teams put into every project we deliver and the vision John instils across the company. 

Ffrwd Garreg Wen was our first design and build project for social housing provider Adra, and we couldn’t be prouder to see the project receive such outstanding recognition.

And the journey doesn’t stop here! Following today’s success, Rhun and the Ffrwd Garreg Wen team will now progress to the NHBC Supreme Awards in London in January, where we will compete for further national recognition.

A huge congratulations to Rhun and the entire team — an achievement you can all be incredibly proud of! 

We're pleased to announce the successful handover of our latest residential development project to our client, Adra.
The project, located at Penygroes, was delivered by John Kelly Construction Services Limited.
This exciting development provides 12 high-quality two-storey timber homes, comprising:
• 2 blocks of 3 terraced houses
• 2 pairs of semi-detached houses
• 2 detached properties
All homes are constructed to meet current Building Regulations and are fully compliant with the Welsh Development Quality Requirements, Secured by Design, and Lifetime Homes standards.

We are delighted to have delivered much-needed, high-quality homes for the local community. We hope the future residents will be very happy in their new homes and enjoy being part of this community for many years to come.

The Urdd Eisteddfod has come to Anglesey! Cronfa JK are delighted to have sponsored a Trophy in remembrance of Mam - June Kelly for the Solo Recitation Competition for 19-25 year olds. Good luck to all those competing! 🏆

Work is officially underway at our new homes development in Bro Eglwys, Bethel.
It’s exciting to see the project come to life, and these aerial shots give a great view of how things are progressing.

Sian Gwenllian MS, Member of the Senedd for Arfon, recently visited our Tredafydd, Penygroes  site where we are building 12 houses for social housing provider, Adra. 🔨

During the visit, she congratulated Rhun Williams and his team on their success in the Small Builder Category at the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Awards for his previous site at Bethel, Caernarfon. Rhun was selected from more than 8,000 site managers across the UK, progressing through at least three rigorous stages of judging to secure the regional title. 🎉

Sian said:

“I was very glad of the opportunity to visit the Tredafydd development and to congratulate Rhun in person on this tremendous achievement. It is always inspiring to see young people from Arfon excelling in their field, and I am particularly proud that Rhun has chosen to build his career and his life here in our local area. Developments such as this, which bring more affordable, high-quality housing to Arfon, are so important for our communities. This award is richly deserved.”

John Kelly Construction was pleased to support Careers Wales at the employer carousel event for Year 9 pupils at Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni.

We delivered short presentations to small groups of pupils, engaging with 141 students and highlighting the wide range of career opportunities available within the construction industry.

It was a great opportunity to support career education and help inspire the next generation of construction professionals.

On Friday night we had the honour of attending the NHBC Supreme Awards in London, where Site Manager Rhun Williams was a Regional Finalist in the small builder category. 

High quality work has always been John Kelly Construction's priority. Our Site Managers, teams and sub-contractors always endeavour to create the best possible homes for our home buyers.

We are delighted that the NHBC recognised Rhun’s perseverance, hard work and attention to detail at Bro Eglwys, Bethel at a National Level! 

Llongyfarchiadau mawr Rhun Williams!
