Conor Kelly

Conor Kelly, better known online as ‘Conor the Digger Driver,’ is a construction content creator who has carved out a massive digital presence by vlogging his day-to-day life behind the controls of heavy machinery. With over 200,000 followers and a highly engaged fan base, Conor has become one of the UK’s most recognisable figures in the plant and machinery space.

He began by documenting his real-life experiences as a digger driver — showing the highs, the challenges, and the everyday graft of site life. His content is equal parts educational, entertaining, and inspiring. Whether he’s operating excavators, showcasing machinery features, or capturing the camaraderie of construction crews, Conor brings authenticity and humour to every video.

His reach and influence have led to brand partnerships with major names in both industry and lifestyle — including the Molson Group, the UK’s official Kobelco dealer, and collaborations with household brands like Costa Coffee and Toby Carvery. Conor’s platform has become a powerful crossover between skilled trades and mainstream media, helping to highlight the pride, personality, and professionalism behind the high-vis jackets.
