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. ✅

After spotlighting his journey in National Apprenticeship Week 2025, we couldn’t be prouder to share that Caleb Clarke has successfully completed his Business Administration Level 3 Apprenticeship 👏

Since joining Hopkins in December 2024, Caleb has shown great commitment to his development, building his skills in document control, business systems, and day to day operations. His growth in confidence and professionalism has been fantastic to see.

Apprenticeships go beyond qualifications – they open doors, nurture talent, and build lasting careers. Caleb is a great example of what can be achieved with dedication and the right support.

Congratulations, Caleb! a fantastic achievement and we’re excited to see what’s next for you at Hopkins! 🎉

We understand that mental health matters just as much as physical health. With 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health issues in their lifetime, it’s something that can affect us all. While this week shines a spotlight on mental health, we believe it’s something that should be recognised and supported all year round.

Throughout the week, we’ll be:
– Re-sharing our enhanced Employee Assistance Programme, offering free, confidential support for our employees and their families
– Highlighting mental health resources to help manage challenges, reduce stress and support long-term wellbeing
– Promoting the importance of small, everyday actions that can make a big difference

Whether it’s starting the day with a healthy breakfast, stepping away from your desk for a walk and talk, or simply checking in with a colleague – these small moments can all play a part in improving our mental wellbeing.

Because creating a supportive culture starts with looking out for one another and knowing that help is always there when you need it, every day of the year.

One of the standout success stories on our West Slope project has been our use of 𝗼𝗳𝗳‑𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to support programme certainty, quality and site efficiency.

By manufacturing key pipework systems away from site and delivering them ready for installation, our teams have been able to significantly reduce on‑site install time and improve coordination across a large and complex development.

✅ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 has been prefabricated, welded and delivered in manageable sections, improving safety and consistency of installation.
✅ 𝗛𝗗𝗣𝗘 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 have been fully manufactured, pressure‑tested, labelled and quality checked at our Concorde House facility before arriving on site ready to fit.

This approach has helped streamline logistics, minimise disruption across multiple buildings, and support a “right first time” installation all while keeping pace with a demanding construction programme.

A huge shout‑out to 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺, whose expertise and attention to detail have played a key role in making this possible. 👏

Prefabrication continues to be a powerful tool in how we deliver modern projects improving efficiency, reducing risk and supporting better outcomes for our clients and delivery partners.

Two of our colleagues, Della Woods (Contracts Manager) and Sophie Hillebrandt (Estimator) represented Hopkins at the Strong Female Lead 2026 event in Southampton, hosted by Omega RE on Thursday 5 March 2026.

Marking its 5th anniversary, the event brought together women from across male dominated industries to share experiences, build networks and champion authentic leadership.
