The History Of Kelly Formwork
Our Story
Kelly Formwork was founded in 2005 by Daryll Brendan Kelly, whose 27+ years of hands-on industry experience and commitment to quality continue to shape the business today. Starting as a labour-only subcontractor, the company quickly grew after entering the Civil Engineering sector in 2008.
A major turning point came in 2012 with work on the Crossrail project at Bond Street Station, leading to a series of high-profile contracts and establishing Kelly Formwork as a trusted name in the industry. In 2014, the company entered the Major Highways sector, beginning with the construction of a 500-metre viaduct in Bognor Regis.
Today, Kelly Formwork is one of the UK’s leading FRC subcontractors, proudly working with major contractors like Skanska, Costain, Grahams, HS2, Network Rail, and Highways England on projects nationwide.
