We’ve built on solid foundations . . .

“Managing director Ian Hodgkinson, the friendly and professional face of Hodgkinson, is a great believer in building good relationships with both the people with whom he works and those for whom he works – as long as they share his unremitting commitment to quality.

“That is something on which he won’t compromise.”

(article by award-winning journalist Ron Eyley – March 2008)

A family affair . . .

Quality has been a priority for Hodgkinson throughout the family’s 70-year involvement with the building trade.

Ian makes no secret of his determination to head the best company of its kind in the fields of construction and the provision of bricklaying teams.

That’s why his pledge to customers is a simple one: “At Hodgkinson’s, you will deal with caring, qualified,

Page 6: Hodgkinson Capability statement

honest and willing personnel who actually want to help you . . .

No ifs No buts.”

The company . . . From its new, purpose-built offices at Pride Park in Derby, Hodgkinson’s offers a comprehensive range of supply and construction services in brick, stone, glassblock work and flint for housing, factory, retail, specialist and prestigious development and refurbishment projects in locations as diverse as Ilkeston and Iceland. Providing solutions for the most challenging projects anywhere in the UK is a Hodgkinson speciality.

Page 7: Hodgkinson Capability statement

The company has 150 bricklayers, stone masons, forklift drivers and labourers, together with a database of several thousand tradesmen on whose services it can call.In short, we are big enough to deliver on contracts with £multi-million price tags but not so big that we lose sight of quality standards on those with a £multi-thousand label.

Project Management:

More and more discerning individuals, families and businesses are turning to Hodgkinson for project management services on new-build contracts of all sizes as well as restoration schemes where the accent is on the very highest quality and craftsmanship.

The expertise and experience of Hodgkinson's project management professionals are now recognised as a particularly attractive option for those requiring bespoke services which are stress-free, cost-effective, delivered within budget and to an unrivalled standard.

Recent projects have included the sympathetic refurbishment of a centuries-old Derbyshire barn valued at a conservative £1million and a substantial bungalow development in Norfolk - both of which won special praise from the clients.

Hodgkinson 8 Portfolio:

We are particularly proud to have been involved with the construction of the new National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffs, which honours those killed on duty or as a result of terrorist action since the end of World War II and which was opened in October 2007 by HM The Queen.

Education Division:

In the past six years, Hodgkinson Education Division has won itself an enviable reputation for its work in the arena of school rebuilding and renovation.

In that time it has been involved in the construction of 70 schools throughout Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire as part of the government’s ‘Building Schools for the Future’ programme which aims to replace or refurbish all secondary schools over the next 15 years.

In the news . . .

Hitting the headlines for all the right reasons isn't a new experience for the team at Hodgkinson, especially MD Ian.

He's something of a celebrity these days after appearing in the Sky television series 'Renovation Creation' making over a Victorian house in Liverpool with former Big Brother winner Craig Phillips, helping the BBC's Diarmuid Gavin produce the Art House Garden in Nottingham, supporting the launch of Craig

Page 15: Hodgkinson Capability statement

Phillips' new building skills centre in Liverpool (Cherie Blair performed the opening ceremony), and presenting a paper on health and safety in the construction industry at a major conference attended by top government minister Patricia Hewitt.

More recently, Ian was privileged to meet the Queen at the official opening of the new National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas.

In the news continued:

Hodgkinson Builders supplied the 250,000 bricks and built the primary structures of the dramatic, circular memorial which features a slit in the east wall to allow a beam of sunlight to fall on the focal point centre stone exactly at 11am on November 11 - Remembrance Day. Hodgkinson also supplied some of the stone masons.

Locally, he's even better known for his big heart, especially when children want help.

Among other things, Ian has sponsored SmalleyJuniors football club, supported Ladywood FC and Eastwood Town FC, and put up cash to help stage a charity pantomime to pay for a trip to Disneyland for a Nottingham girl suffering from a brain tumour and to help youngsters affected by acts of terrorism, particularly the London tube bombings.

Stop Press: 

Ian is to become the first person ever presented with a Rotary Citation for Outstanding Service by the Rotary Club of Hope Valley in the Derbyshire Peak.

Early in 2008, Ian played a leading role in the first campaign of its kind in the world designed to improve the quality of life for victims of Charles Bonnet Syndrome, a condition that causes blind and partially-sighted people to see phantom visions. Many spend their lives under a black cloud because they do not

feel able to speak about their hallucinations for fear of being thought to be in the early stages of mental illness.

Ian was praised by the partners behind the initiative - the Rotary Club of Hope Valley and Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind - for funding the design and print of the CBS awareness-raising leaflets.
