Last Friday, we joined Wates Group on the Isle of Wight for a dedicated Wellbeing Day, focusing on the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of everyone working on the project.

The day gave teams the opportunity to step away from their daily tasks, connect with colleagues and learn more about the support available to them.

Highlights from the day included:
🍔 A site wide BBQ, giving everyone the opportunity to relax and catch up.
🎗️ An insightful talk from Hopkins Senior Project Manager Russell Wood, on prostate cancer awareness, highlighting the importance of early detection and regular health checks.
🧠 A session from our HR Manager, Ami Cobb (Assoc CIPD), focused on mental health awareness, recognising the signs that someone may be struggling and the importance of supporting those around us.
💷 Practical financial wellbeing advice from NatWest, demonstrating how financial health plays a vital role in overall wellbeing.
❤️ Free health assessments from The Healthy Employee, including cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checks.

🐾 And, of course, 𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗲, our much-loved Hopkins wellbeing dog, was busy making new friends and putting smiles on faces throughout the day.

A big thank you to Wates Group, Ami Cobb (Assoc CIPD), Russell Wood, Dan Thorne and everyone involved in making the event such a success. 👏

On the International Day of Charity, we’re proud to support our people in making a difference.

Did you know, every Hopkins employee is entitled to up to five paid charity volunteer days each year, giving them the opportunity to support causes close to their heart without using annual leave?

Combined with our fundraising events, charity partnerships and community initiatives, it’s just one of the ways we’re committed to creating a positive impact beyond the projects we deliver.

Today we’re celebrating an amazing milestone as Julian Smart reaches 35 years with J&B Hopkins.

For over three decades, Julian has been setting the standard through his hard work, honesty, and commitment to doing things the right way. He’s someone people can always rely on for straightforward advice, genuine support, and the determination to get the job done, no matter the challenge.

Those who have worked with Julian will know his particular sense of humour can lift a team even on the toughest days, and if you’ve ever worked away with him, you’ll probably be familiar with the tradition of Wimpy Wednesdays too!

Julian’s loyalty and high standards have helped shape the reputation J&B Hopkins is known for today. He truly embodies the values we strive for as a business and has left a lasting mark on everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside him.

As a thank you for his incredible service, we recently presented Julian with a gift he can use to enjoy some well-deserved time with his family and create new memories together.

Congratulations Julian, and thank you for 35 outstanding years. 💙

With temperatures rising, we treated everyone on one of our local project sites to an ice cream break.

A small gesture that gave everyone a chance to cool down, catch up, and enjoy a well earned break together.

This July, we were proud to celebrate four valued members of the Hopkins team for their long service milestones. 🎉

👏 Robert Weston, Regional Director, and Daniel Penny, Lead HVAC PPM Engineer, celebrated 5 years with Hopkins.

👏 Luke Baines and Jack Quinn, Project Site Managers, celebrated an impressive 10 years with the business.

Their dedication, expertise, and commitment have played an important part in shaping Hopkins into the company it is today. We are grateful for their contribution over the years and look forward to their continued success as part of the team.

Congratulations on this fantastic achievement! 👏

No hard hats, laptops or toolboxes. Just healthy competition (and the occasional off-key karaoke classic). 🎶 😆

Last week, the Hopkins team headed to Boom Battle Bar Southampton for our Summer Social, and what a night it was!

With games, drinks, plenty of banter, and some surprisingly competitive colleagues, it was the perfect chance to relax and enjoy time together away from the day job.

A great team deserves the occasional chance to let their hair down, and this year’s Summer Social definitely delivered.

📸 Check out some of our favourite moments from the evening!

On Friday, 10th July, our Hopkins Dodgeball Heroes took to the court at the Ace Sports & Education Charity Dodgeball Event, raising money for the incredible Abby’s Heroes.

After a day of dodging, diving, and (occasionally) being hit by flying dodgeballs, we’re proud to say the team fought their way to a fantastic 3rd place finish! 🥉

More importantly, it was a brilliant day spent supporting a charity that makes a real difference to families facing childhood cancer.

Our Team Captain, Neil Johnson, summed the day up perfectly:
“It didn’t take much convincing to get everyone into costume for the day, and it was great to be part of such a fun and different fundraising event. The Ace Sports team were fantastic and made the day enjoyable for everyone. We may need a bit more dodgeball practice before the next one, but we’re already looking forward to coming back and supporting another great event for such a worthwhile charity.”

A huge thank you to Ace Sports & Education for organising such a fantastic event and to everyone who has supported our fundraising so far.

💜 There’s still time to donate to Abby’s Heroes. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps the charity continue its incredible work supporting children with cancer and their families.

Take a look at the photos—there are some great action shots, although we’re not sure they’ll all want evidence of their dodging technique! 😄

One week on from our Charity Golf Day… and we’re still talking about it ⛳

Last week we brought together the Hopkins team, clients and supply chain partners to raise funds for the amazing Abby’s Heroes – a charity doing incredible work to support children and families facing cancer. 💜

We weren’t sure what the weather would do… but thankfully the rain stayed away and the course was set for a brilliant day of golf, networking and (a bit of) healthy competition.

The support this year was next level – from generous sponsorship and donations to hands down the best raffle prizes we’ve ever had.
And the result?

👉 £𝟰,𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 for Abby’s Heroes!!

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved – whether you played, sponsored, donated or helped behind the scenes. We genuinely couldn’t do it without you.

Roll on next year… because I think it’s safe to say:
Best golf day in the South? DONE. ✅
