Bendigo Excavators is proudly owned and operated by husband and wife team, Michael and Kelly Burgess.
In January 2026, we took over the business from Rod, continuing its strong local presence while bringing fresh energy and a long-term vision for growth and service in the Bendigo region.
With strong roots in regional Victoria, Michael grew up on a dairy farm in Swanpool, where he developed a lifelong passion for machinery, hard work, and hands-on problem solving. His background in agriculture, combined with years of experience operating and maintaining equipment, brings practical knowledge and real-world understanding to the business.
Kelly brings over a decade of experience in business ownership, customer service, and operations, having successfully built and run multiple businesses across regional Victoria. Her focus is on delivering a seamless customer experience, building strong local relationships, and continually growing the business to meet the needs of the Bendigo community.
Together, we are committed to providing reliable machinery, honest advice, and dependable service. Whether you’re purchasing equipment, servicing your machine, or need support to keep things running smoothly, we take pride in offering a down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach you can trust.
As a locally owned and operated business, we understand the importance of keeping your equipment working when you need it most because we’ve lived it ourselves.
