Keep up to date with HOP’s latest endeavours from new personnel and media appearances to the very latest HOP achievements.
Every September, HOP organise an annual Staff Team Building Day. This year’s event was marine themed and staff enjoyed an exciting day taking part in the activities on offer at Chichester Watersports Centre.
Paddle Round the Pier is the world’s largest free beach and watersports festival. It is organised every year on Brighton seafront and features the best in watersports, live music, kids’ entertainment, and more!
HOP Managing Director, Jon Orrell, assisted in the organisation of the festival this July and encouraged the whole company to get involved.
HOP hosted a retirement party for Accounts Manager, Linda, who has worked at HOP for 30 years! Being a lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion FC fan, we arranged a special guest appearance by Bruno to congratulate her on her retirement and to say thank you for all her commitment to HOP.
The Brighton2Brussels Charity Bike Ride was completed this year by Will on behalf of HOP and as part of the Brighton and Hove Property Consortium (B&HPC).
The B&HPC organises a charity cycle ride every year in aid of the Brighton Mayor’s Charities, which this year were Albion in the Community, the Martlets Hospice, RISE, the Clock Tower Sanctuary and the Sussex Heart Charity.
The completed Hove Plinth was revealed on Saturday 21st April. Hove Plinth will showcase a new local sculpture every 12-18 months on Hove seafront. HOP provided advice to overcome the design challenge for the plinth to accommodate a wide range of future sculptures. As a result, we were awarded ‘Hove Plinth Heroes’ for our contribution.
On the 26th February, the ‘Hove Plinth’ Project Team were featured on BBC’s South East News to celebrate the start of construction! This plinth will showcase a new local sculpture every 12-18 months on Brighton Seafront. Work will take place on the site over the next eight weeks with support from HOP and a number of local firms who are contributing work free of charge, including Matsim, Millimetre and RLF.
HOP are thrilled to announce that we are finalists in two categories at the London & SE Constructing Excellence (SECBS) Awards. We have been nominated for: the People Development Award; and the Apprenticeship Initiative Award, both showing HOP’s commitment to the development of our people and encouraging others into Civil and Structural Engineering.
This year’s charity bike ride will start at The British Airways i360 on May 3, with the 40 riders cycling a mile around the inside of the pod as it glides up to 450ft and back again. The participants will then continue their ride on to Brussels.
The Brighton2Brussels Charity Cycle Ride 2018 is raising funds for the Mayor’s Charities of Brighton and Hove. This year’s charities include: Albion in the Community, The Clock Tower Sanctuary, The Martlets Hospice, RISE and the Sussex Heart Charity.
Please help us raise HOP’s target of £750 to help reach the team’s fundraising goal!
