From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 15 August 2002 with Mr Bill Hopkins and Mr Christopher Hopkins both being appointed as directors of the Company on 26 November 2002. Mr Bill Hopkins later resigned as a director on 8 Apri 2005 leaving Mr Chns Hopkins as the sole rematning director.
The Company’s shareholders are Mr Chris Hopkins and Mrs Helen Hopkins who each hold 153 and 147 ordinary £1 shares respectively of the Company's issued share capital.
When the recession hit the building and roofing industry in 2006, Mr Hopkins identified solar energy as the way forward and went on to help produce the solar roofing NVQ which ts now being taught in colleges across the UK, and which ts also used as a key competency in the MCS accreditation process. The Company therefore diversified into the installation of solar panels, wind turbines, heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points, and other energy efficiency measures. The Company initially traded very successfully and became one of the UK’S fastest growing solar PV compames and was well known within the renewable energy market.
