Hopkins has been established for 50 years as a result of being set up by its founder Vince Hopkins on 17th September 1957. The business started as an electrical goods shop but has developed over the past half a century to become a complete catering solution for many catering establishments.
Hopkins name is very well known throughout the fish & chip market for manufacturing quality products for their outlets. Whilst this is still a major part of the business, the company has grown with the times and is now able to provide a wide range of catering products for many different catering facilities.
- Hopkins Services
As well as advice, Hopkins can deliver a first class design and planning service as well as installation of the equipment, maintenance and spare parts. Therefore Hopkins can deliver the whole catering equipment package for any type of catering outlet and as a result Hopkins prides itself on the fantastic service and close relationships it develops with its customers.
Hopkins has even entered the export market and has supplied equipment to some very exotic areas of the world including Abu Dhabi and other areas around Europe.
- Hopkins Products
Some of Hopkins products are also so diverse they can be used outside of the catering industry. For example air conditioning units can be bought and installed in any establishment. A solar powered winged kiosk was also sold to the Doncaster Earth Centre as a result of a specific request.
Indeed Hopkins can make many items through its manufacturing department as illustrated by the signs that have been provided for the ITV soap Emmerdale. These were custom made for certain parts of the soap and due to our ability to provide custom made equipment, Hopkins were used for these jobs.
- Leasing Options
Hopkins realise that paying for new equipment for your business can be a costly exercise, draining precious cash when you need it most. Because of this they offer Finance and leasing options which allows you to pay for your equipment over an agreed period.
There are many advantages of leasing, firstly the initial outlay on new equipment eases the cash flow of your business and with fixed payments over 1-5 years, you’ll find flexible terms to suit your individual needs perfectly.
Secondly, Hopkins can provide you with the very best credit limits, especially for new businesses, and a variety of schemes are available to offer you additional spending as your balance reduces.
To find out more simply contact Hopkins who will put you directly in contact with a leasing company who will then make a decision within 4 hours in most cases. After this your equipment can be delivered and you can begin drumming up business!
