2005
First Carpentry Career
I started my carpentry career aged 17 with Kingerlee Construction Ltd, where I completed a three year carpentry apprenticeship.
2009
Sub-Contractor Job
Four years later, in 2009, I was made redundant, I was lucky enough to secure a job as a Sub-Contractor with a team of local carpenters. During this time I bought my first property, which I rented out for a number of years.
2013-2016
Hopcroft Developments Was Formed
Two years later I bought my first development project, whilst still working as a Sub-Contractor. It was during this time that I realised that property development was something that I enjoyed, and the profit I earned incentivised me to continue into property development.
A couple of years later I decided to start Hopcroft Developments , to focus on more development projects as well as carpentry and Project Management work for clients.
2017-2018
Dual Project Collaboration
After successfully completing several projects of my own, I was approached by a local property developer who wanted me to carry out all the work on his projects, we worked well together and completed 2 projects. While I thoroughly enjoyed this and could have happily continued it wasn’t benefiting me other than keeping me and my team in day to day work.
2019
Limited Company Formed & Invested In
At this point I made the company Ltd and sort after finding investment for my own projects. I was successful in doing so and for the last 3 years we have been working very well together and produced some fantastic properties and healthy profits along the way.
