One recently successful project showcasing Hopkins ’ ability is a £ 13 million student accommodation scheme in London , which is poised to grow the company ’ s presence in the city . “ The project at Old Kent Road is around halfway through and progressing very well , with over 100 operatives on-site . Additionally , we have secured a project in Pall Mall , Central London . Collaborating with contractors we know and who appreciate the benefits of our services , aiming for quality rather than simply establishing a presence in London through volume , we hope to expand our presence through a phased strategic growth strategy ,” says Mike .
Drive for excellence
Elsewhere in the country , Hopkins is involved in several exciting projects . “ In Brighton , we have secured the design and preconstruction of a sizeable student accommodation project , expected to begin in March 2025 and to last for three years , resulting in 1700 additional apartments . Hopkins work in the education sector is currently going from strength to strength , and we are recognised as the market leader in that sector . Furthermore , we are engaged in several projects for the Ministry of
Justice , Healthcare , Blue Light and Residential sectors and look forward to sharing updates on these future successes .”
Hopkins is not only involved in largescale projects but also excels in delivering specialised , niche end-user schemes . These projects often come with greater complexity , particularly in the logistical and installation phases , which are managed through its Special Projects department . Additionally , for many years , Hopkins has provided reliable Planned Preventive Maintenance ( PPM ) and general maintenance services via its in-house Technical Services department , specialising in the hospitality and leisure sectors across the South , with a 24 / 7 call-out service .
The success of these endeavours is largely due to the expertise and dedication of Hopkins ’ highly skilled staff . Recognising their vital importance , Mike explains how the company supports its employees and creates a positive working culture . “ Since the launch of our business direction plan in 2021 , the business has put staff in the forefront of its drive for excellence which include employee recognition events , charity initiatives , wellbeing and mental health support and a monthly newsletter .
