The Company:
From purpose-built offices at Pride Park in Derby, Hodgkinson Builders offers a comprehensive range of supply and construction services in brick, stone, glass block work and flint. Our work has been used in housing, factory, retail, specialist and prestigious development and refurbishment projects in locations as diverse as Ilkeston and Iceland. 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. We’re built on solid foundations. Managing director Ian Hodgkinson, the friendly and professional face of Hodgkinson Builders, 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. Before launching his company 18 years ago, Ian lectured on a range of construction skills at a local college and was well aware that the building industry didn't enjoy the best of reputations with the public at large, thanks to its frequent failure to deliver a quality service, on time and within budget. Determined that things would be different at Hodgkinson Builders', the company's mission statement is an unequivocal: ‘to build your buildings on time, within budget and with complete safety’. It's a policy that stems from a family involvement with the building trade that stretches back over 70 years - and a personal determination to head the best company of its kind in the construction field. Ian's pledge to customers is a simple one:
"At Hodgkinson's, you will deal with caring, qualified, honest and willing personnel who actually want to help you. No ifs. No buts."
