We were delighted to welcome 18 students from Alabama’s Auburn University’s 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 £14 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.
“It 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,” 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.

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. 🏫
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. 👷♀️ 👷♂️
We look forward to being a part of this exciting project! 🎉

Last month we bid farewell to three legendary members of our team, each leaving behind a mark on Hopkins with their combined 16 years of service. While their departure leaves a void, we couldn’t be happier for them starting their next chapter in life.
🎉 Join us in congratulating:
Brian Hopwood, Network Installer
Peter Lawrence, Senior Project Manager
Alan Farnes, Senior Site Supervisor
Brian has been instrumental in our specialist infrastructure department, spearheading major projects such as St. Marks School, Moulsecoomb Student Accommodation, and beyond.
Peter’s infectious energy and leadership has been integral to the success of our Thames Valley Region’s team since its inception.
Alan’s dedication to develop positive relationships with our clients to provide the best outcome on his assigned projects, whilst always teaching our apprentices the golden rule of being a quality installer “measure twice, cut once” will undoubtedly be missed.
As they seek new adventures, we extend our heartfelt wishes for success and fulfilment in all their endeavours. Though they may no longer be colleagues, they will remain cherished friends at Hopkins.
Thank you, Brian, Peter, and Alan, for your years of dedication and service.
