About our leader – Chris Hopkins

Our illustrious leader, Chris Hopkins, is extremely well known within the roofing industry. Having had 38 years experience of working within the roofing industry, Chris has had a very colourful career prior to Green and Heritage Roofing.

Throughout Chris’s career, he has become recognised as a true entrepreneur. His primary drive came from a desire to transform the publics poor perceptions of the roofing and construction industry. Through a commitment to professionalism and quality he has achieved just that.

Ploughcroft was acquired by Avonside Group in 2016 and Chris stayed with the business until 2020 when he took the decision to leave after disagreement on the direction the company was heading.
