Kelly Communications was awarded its first major contract by Croydon Cable which included the very first cable television customer installation on 17th September 1985. This was a landmark achievement and was the stimulus for the remarkable future success of the company. The company’s solid reputation for providing a high quality of service quickly ensured its place as a major force in the business. As a result, it soon won further installation contracts UK wide. These included Windsor Cable, East London Cable, Birmingham Cable, North West Cable and Comment Cable among others. By the early 1990’s, the company’s level of service provision had evolved to include a complete network turnkey, planning, construction and maintenance service for existing and many new clients. This process led to the formulation of the Kelly Group structure in the mid-90’s where individual companies or divisions were established to expand into existing and other utility markets. As a result of the convergence of new and existing communications technologies at the turn of the new millennium, the Industry began offering business and residential customers digital and broadband services. In the early 2000’s, the Group formed Kelly Rail to target the network, signaling and communications opportunities within the UK rail industry. Kelly Rail has grown rapidly and now forms a major part of the Group’s revenue and contract portfolio. In recent years, the Group has successfully integrated into the brewery services industry specializing in onsite installation and support Since that time the Kelly Communications Group has evolved into one of the UK's most successful telecommunications and transportation infrastructure companies.
