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.
