J&B Hopkins acknowledge the potential impact that work has on an individual’s physical and mental health and are committed to developing a culture of trust and respect where all individuals can work at their optimum level.
A survey has recently been issued to all employees to obtain anonymous and open feedback regarding how they feel wellbeing is currently managed within the company to help shape our mind-set strategy whilst creating positive change.
The feedback will be reviewed in the New Year and 2019 will see the launch of J&B Hopkins ”Mind-Set Wellbeing…” strategy to help boost employee wellbeing.
Watch this space for more updates in the New Year!
We are proud to announce that we are continuing with our commitment around the wellbeing of our staff and this month we have had a number of our site staff trained as Mental Health Champions. Fully supported by our Mental Health First Aiders, our Champions have the knowledge to advocate for mental health and the ability to recognise if someone may need support with their mental health.
Together we continue to build a mentally healthy workplace, ending stigma and discrimination around mental health in the workplace.
After another challenging year in the industry Hopkins have strived to improve the systems, management and implications of our Health and Safety System to ensure that all of our staff, site operatives and sub-contractors work safe, stay safe and return home safe after every working day.
We are pleased to be recognised for our efforts and be awarded ‘Health and Safety Excellence’ from HCS Safety for an overall 100% score for the year (albeit a little delayed due to the pandemic!) and we wish to open our thanks to all of our staff and supply chain.
Here at J&B Hopkins we recognise how important it is to grow and develop our rising stars.
To provide an additional level of development to our apprentices and trainees we have just launched our new mentoring scheme. The scheme provides a formal platform whereby a mentor and mentee can create a confidential mentoring partnership aimed to assist the mentee to achieve personal and professional growth.
The scheme’s objectives are:
We are sure the experience will teach both the mentor and mentee new perspectives as well as many other skills for the future.
A huge thank you and appreciation to everyone in supporting the business and our clients, through these challenging times and although the current position remains unclear; after Boris Johnson’s announcement on Monday, business is far from usual, but we are being asked to remain working on our sites.
We are obviously watching and waiting for any change made in policy by Government that may result in what we can and cannot do towards trading normally.
We are maintaining our services to the sites where possible, subject to constant health and safety checks to ensure all Government recommended safety measures are possible and supply chain materials being available.

With a heatwave predicted to bring temperatures above 35C to parts of the UK over the next few days, hydration is key, and that’s why all JBH employees are being provided with a company water bottle.
Keeping hydrated is also associated with better cognition and mental performance, and helps combat tiredness and fatigue, all of which can help organisational productivity.
J&B Hopkins are promoting the message that water should be drunk regularly throughout the working day and not just at mealtimes or in a response to thirst.
It has recently been highlighted that plastic water bottles are not successfully being recycled and therefore causing pollution to the environment. J&B Hopkins have reviewed the plastic used across our sites and offices, and aim to reduce our impact on the environment by supplying all employees with a reusable water bottle.
As a result of continued business growth, we are delighted to announce the opening of our new Brighton based office.
Our new premises will expand our current services in the South East and increase our support to the local community through recruitment and supply chain, all with the continued plan to deliver quality and value to our growing list of Clients.

National Apprenticeship Week!
At Hopkins we value our apprentices and the fantastic contribution that they bring to our organisation. Our apprenticeship programme is thriving with 18 members currently undertaking training in different areas of the company, which will help support our business direction plan over the coming years.
To help celebrate we asked two of our design apprentices, past and present, to share their thoughts and experiences. Ben Sherwood, who is at the beginning of his career and Jason Parker, who is well into his career and a great example for our apprentices that ‘the sky’s the limit’ with hard work and determination.
