The Reddy Group commenced operation as a small construction company in Suva, Fiji Islands in 1947.

Yanktesh Permal (YP) Reddy joined the Company in 1957 and this allowed Ram Sami Reddy to move to Lautoka to open the branch in the West where there was a sudden surge of growth in the building industry.

The younger brother, YP who had also moved to Lautoka in 1957 was soon looking at diversifying and entering into other fields of commercial activities.

Soon after that it went into joint venture with Fletcher Construction of New Zealand to take up even more ambitious construction projects amongst which were the University of the South Pacific building extensions, ANZ Bank complex in Suva, Lautoka and Suva Wharves, Sugar Mill boilers installation and the Sheraton Hotel in Denarau.

The Reddy Group in 1970 took up shares in Clyde Engineering Co Ltd, a NZ company which expanded its operations in Fiji to market and service heavy construction and industrial equipment in the South Pacific.
