With our largest order book to date and a design team of 26 eager to share their experiences with each new wave of apprentices, thereโs never been a more exciting time to shine at Hopkins. โจ
This week, we welcomed Nathan Walsh and Connie Grocott as our newest design apprentices. They will be mentored mainly by our Senior Design Engineer, James Mintram, who has recently completed his own apprenticeship with us. Jason Parker, our Design & Pre-Construction Director, began his journey at Hopkins over 20 years ago as an apprentice and credits his training and mentorship for helping him achieve his career goals. We have no doubt that Connie and Nathan will follow in his footsteps and accomplish great things here. Jason and James exemplify how Hopkins is the ideal place to cultivate your skills. ๐คฉ
This investment in our apprentices is part of our recently appointed Design Manager, Paul Wright‘s vision to focus on nurturing talent in his team from a grassroots level.

We were delighted to welcome 18 students from Alabamaโs Auburn Universityโs McWhorter School of Building Science to our current project hosted in partnership with our client EQUANS, the Glengall Road Student Accommodation in London. As part of their technical visit to Europe and the Middle East, they toured the basement and residential spaces of our ยฃ14 million building services project for the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Building and Engineering Services Association (BESA Group), under the guidance of Kip Bahra, and the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), the students gained valuable insights into our work, guided by Project Director Michael Reader MIET and Lead Design Engineer James Mintram.
โIt was a genuine pleasure to support the young graduate engineers visiting from America. This initiative not only fostered international collaboration but also highlighted the talent we have nurtured within our own organisation. Our designer, who began their journey with us as a graduate, had the invaluable opportunity to present the project design, demonstrating their growth and expertise,โ said Dominic Harman, our Major Projects Director.
At Hopkins, we believe in the immense benefits of investing in the younger generation. Their fresh perspectives and significant value are vital to our ongoing success and innovation. We look forward to continuing to strengthen industry ties and empower future building science professionals.

Did you know Hopkins has a dedicated Pre-Construction Department? Our in-house team works tirelessly to provide a roadmap for the successful delivery of our projects. From ensuring cost certainty and compliance with employer requirements to programming and delivery, we equip our contracts teams with everything they need for success.
We were delighted to receive the Pre-Construction Award at the Morgan Sindall Construction Thames Valley Awards last week! ๐
Our pre-construction offering is second to none, and our team goes the extra mile to help our valued clients achieve their financial goals and secure projects. Seeing these efforts recognised is incredibly rewarding. Thank you!
We are pleased to announce we will be working in partnership with McLaren Construction to deliver the design and build MEP package for High Leigh Primary School in Hoddesdon. ๐ซ
This new two-form entry primary school, which replaces the existing one-form entry Westfield Community Primary School, will accommodate 420 pupils aged 4-11 and will include an integrated 30-place nursery. It will provide additional space to serve the new High Leigh Garden Village where it is located.
Our Thames Valley Contracts team will lead the design and installation of the MEP package, marking our first collaboration with McLaren Construction. ๐ทโโ๏ธ ๐ทโโ๏ธ
We look forward to being a part of this exciting project! ๐

Well done to you both and thank you! ๐
