“Barry & Fitzwilliam have been working with Hopkins Communication’s for decades. We like to work with and support local family businesses. Hopkins Communications have a fantastic dynamic team, that are always moving with the times. More recently I have been working with the Digital team for the Jägermeister social media platforms and digital campaigns. I must say the digital team are brilliant so creative & ever so efficient- nothing is ever an issue even when under time pressure they always meet a deadline. Their ideas are always out of the box and very on trend with the target audience. The social media platforms have grown dramatically in followers and more importantly in the engagement level over the last number of years- it is always impressive to see the growth.
Overall, Hopkins Communications are a tremendous company on all elements of their business offering – we will continue to team up and work together for many more decades I believe.“
