The perfect fit
Earthmoving Equipment Magazine|October - November 2024
In a one-man operation, choosing the right equipment is crucial. And for Brisbane business Gingex, Kobelco was the choice of machinery.
The perfect fit

Tony Kelly's passion for the industry ignited while working for a previous employer on civil construction projects.

He was particularly intrigued by the streetscape works, such as landscaping, fencing, and retaining walls.

"One day, I saw the work that was going on and decided to put my hand up and give it a go," he said.

This decision set him on a path that eventually led to the creation of his own business, Gingex, formerly known as Ginger Landscaping.

Venturing boldly into the trade, Tony immersed himself in both civil construction and landscaping, steadily building his practical knowledge and experience.

After years of navigating between the two fields, Tony relocated from Canberra to Brisbane, where Gingex was born.

When Tony started Gingex, he had no experience running a business.

The first five years were challenging as he navigated the commercial landscape and sought out the right equipment for his growing company.

Tony went through a variety of machinery in search of the perfect fit. He began with a Vermeer stand-on loader, then after a year he added a car-licence tipper, which worked well for his residential landscaping jobs and as a tow vehicle.
