On behalf of J&B Hopkins Ltd, we want to express our deep sadness at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and send our condolences to the Royal Family for their loss.
Queen Elizabeth earned the affection and admiration of our country and people across the world for how she dedicated herself to service and she was an example to us all.
This month we are celebrating two exceptional Length of Service Awards. Work anniversaries of this length are not as common in the industry as they used to be thatβs for sure, but at Hopkins we seem to be bucking the trend!
Congratulations to Lee Williams for 25 years and Phil Tuck for 20 years of service
Social responsibility is important to Hopkins, as such we have renewed our sponsorship of Hedge End United junior football team this year. It has been great to watch their development and progress so far and are hoping for another successful season. Keep it up Tornadoes!!
