It’s Mental Health Awareness Day — a timely reminder that wellbeing deserves attention every day, not just once a year.

At Hopkins, we strive to create a workplace where mental health is taken seriously and support is always within reach. From 24/7 access to GP consultations and emotional wellness tools, to confidential helplines and guidance for life’s tougher moments, we’re proud to offer meaningful resources to our team and their families.

We also encourage everyone to look out for one another. A simple check-in, a listening ear, or a kind word can go a long way.

Mental health matters. Keep talking, keep learning, and keep supporting each other. 💙

A month ago, colleagues representing every level of our organisation — from apprentices taking their first steps in the industry to directors shaping our strategic vision joined our Senior Leadership Team for a pivotal session focused on Hopkins’ long-term mission and strategic objectives.

The day provided an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, reaffirm the strategic pillars guiding our direction and outline the priorities that will shape the next five years.

We were also joined by a fantastic line up of guest speakers who shared valuable industry insights:
🔹 Procore Technologies – presenting their cloud-based construction management platform, soon to be implemented across Hopkins projects to streamline workflows and enhance collaboration.
🔹 Whitecroft Lighting – demonstrating how they’re adapting to evolving industry demands.
🔹 BISON – showcasing a diverse modular framing system.
🔹 Scolmore Group Companies – showcasing Elucian’s versatile electrical solutions, CPD training, and sustainability initiatives.

This day was a great opportunity to take time as one team and celebrate not just the business milestones we have achieved, but also the people who make it all possible.

Over the past five years, we’re proud to have supported:
🎓 45 internal promotions
🧑‍🏫 30 apprenticeship enrolments
🎓 42 employees supported through higher education funding
🏅 105 employee long service awards

Their growth is our success — and we’re proud to have supported every step of their journey.

Last Friday, Hopkins enjoyed a fantastic evening out in Gunwharf Quays, hosted by our Supply Chain Partner, BSS (S&SW Team)!

It was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and our supply chain partners, share updates on expanding product offerings and discuss the latest Hopkins projects in the local area — all while having a great time bowling together.

A huge thank you to Rebecca Moore and the entire team for organising such a memorable night and creating a fantastic opportunity for collaboration and fun! The event was also made possible by the generous support of from our supply chain Geberit and Ideal Heating. 🤩

🚀 Exciting Leadership Update at Hopkins

We’re delighted to announce that Phil Trevett has been promoted to 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿, a newly created senior leadership role at Hopkins.

In this position, Phil will lead several key business functions – including HR, Payroll, Labour Resourcing, IT, Facilities, Administration, Compliance Support and Marketing – while also driving critical priorities such as workforce development, digital transformation and operational efficiency.

Over the years, Phil has been instrumental in shaping our people-focused initiatives: from modernising our recruitment strategy and embedding the ELF system, to leading our development framework, SLT profiling and talent mapping. His leadership has already made a lasting impact, and this promotion reflects both the value of his contributions and our commitment to building strong, people-centred foundations across the business.

This appointment marks an important milestone for Hopkins – the first time we’ve positioned a senior leader with a primary focus on our people: their experience, wellbeing and development. We’re excited for the journey ahead and confident that under Phil’s leadership we’ll continue to strengthen our culture, enhance our systems and empower our teams to reach their full potential.

Please join us in congratulating Phil on this well-deserved promotion! 👏
