Business Strategy

Chris Hopkins, Managing Director of Hopkins Catering Equipment Ltd
“I hear a lot of gloomy stories from manufacturing businesses like ours going through tough times but I can honestly say that we are going against the trend, and then some.
In May this year we had our best month ever by 50% and I thought this might be a fluke. Simply a build up of work not be repeated, but I was wrong. Since then, month on month we have kept right on breaking our previous best ever records.
The three year targets we set in our 2-day strategy meeting have already been exceeded and left so far behind that this year we will have our best ever year about 30% up on last year.”

But will it last?
“The cultural change in our company is phenomenal. We have tried things before but there was always a general unwillingness to do anything new – anything other than ‘the way it has always been done’. Now there is a spirit where we have (with the odd exception) a willingness to go beyond simply accepting change, but an eagerness to create and be part of it, right across the organisation.
We have opened several major new accounts and we are actually turning down serious contracts and profitable work because we simply cannot cope and that despite an increase in the workforce. Even suppliers that were once reluctant for us to be their agents are knocking on our door eager to do business with us.
