Our History
We’ve come a long way…
Established as a family business by plumber Allan Kennedy in 1976, Kennedys began as a small, family-run plumbing business servicing Melbourne and surrounds.
Year on year, through industry booms, economic busts and pandemics, we’ve adapted and thrived as major service providers in the commercial and industrial plumbing, electrical, metal fabrication and engineering, and asbestos & mould remediation spaces.
We’ve achieved this solid growth by providing service you can count on, and delivering with integrity, always.
The beginning…
Backed by history. Future focused.
Still a family held business, sons Chris and Shannon Kennedy have taken the reins as Directors.
In 2021, along with third Director, Richard MacDonald, and a cross-disciplinary trades Management team, they’ve expanded the Kennedys Group offering to 6 major divisions.
Together, these divisions provide full-scope solutions, tailored to your needs.
