We are delighted to have secured the Hounslow Infills project with Wates Construction. The development will be 4 projects in 1, spread across 4 different site locations. The 4 project sites are Everglades, Clements Court, Rose Gardens and Orchard Road and all sites are 4 to 5 miles apart from each other. In total, the scheme consists of 149no. 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and 5 town houses, to deliver additional affordable housing to the local authority . To ensure the Scheme reaches its goal of reducing its carbon emissions to net zero by 2030, all schemes have been designed to achieve a high level of sustainability in collaboration with specialist energy consultancies. Homes designed on each site utilise simple but effective construction techniques to minimise heat loss and maximise efficiency, as well as low carbon technologies including; air source heat pumps, increased levels of insulation and photovoltaic panels.
The project is due to start on site in September 2022 and complete in September 2023.

We were pleased to see so many of our staff give their time for our Ukrainian support appeal, where we held a dress down day with darts and pool competitions in our head office social club. So many of our colleagues pulled together to donate vital items which will be making their way to the Southampton Polski Social Club. Every little helps in this tough time 💛

At Hopkins over 10% of our staff are apprentices or trainees. In support of their ongoing training we have taken the opportunity during our recent Stores ‘spring-clean’ to donate surplus materials to our local training school, City College Southampton. The gesture was much appreciated by their representatives Alex Johnson and Wayne Lea.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! 🍦 Seeing as its National Ice Cream Day and the hottest day of the year 😎 we thought we would give all those in the office a little treat! ☀️
