Minds behind it all

HOP Works is led by Abby Connor, who set up the business in 2020. Abby had recognised a need in the market for someone to deliver smaller workplace adaptation projects with the same level of care and detail as the larger fit-out projects.

With a background in interior design and over 10 years’ experience in D&B, she is passionate about using her expertise to help businesses adapt spaces into a place where they can thrive. Having built the business to what it is today, Abby leads, inspires, and motivates the HOP Works team to ensure every project is delivered to the highest of standards on both quality and client satisfaction, every time.

Michael oversees all HOP Works projects, ensuring they all run smoothly and are delivered on time. With extensive experience across various sectors and businesses from high end residential, joinery, and commercial interiors, he seamlessly manages all of our projects from the early stages, right through to completion. Michael uses his knowledge of delivering commercial interiors to help guide our clients through the entire process, while offering ideas and solutions to ensure every option is explored and ultimately, expectations are exceeded.

Adrian plays a pivotal role in setting every HOP Works project up for success, ensuring accurate planning, cost estimation, and risk management from the outset. He supports the whole team by efficiently taking projects from initial enquiry through to a fully priced scheme, ready for smooth handover to the delivery team. His strong data, analytics, and risk management background allows him to identify and implement innovative and data-driven solutions that align with our client’s aspirations.

Olivia combines creativity, technical expertise, and a genuine passion for design. With over a decade of experience delivering commercial interiors across London, she has led projects from early-stage concepts and client presentations through to detailed design and delivery.

Known for her sharp eye for detail and ability to translate bold ideas into inspiring, functional spaces, Olivia plays a key role in shaping environments that perform as well as they look.

Ben has recently joined HOP Works as Project Manager to oversee the delivery of our projects and ensure they all run smoothly, on time and to budget.

Ben has spent the past seven years in the design & build industry, working on a wide range of commercial projects across the UK. He will be supporting Michael with all aspects of project delivery, ultimately making sure all our client’s needs are met, and our high site standards are maintained at all times.

Georgia has been part of the HOP Works and HOP journey for over five years, growing with the businesses as they have evolved. She first joined as one of our original Project Coordinators, building a strong foundation in project delivery and team collaboration.

After gaining valuable experience within our accounts team, Georgia has returned to project coordination with a well-rounded perspective on both delivery and commercial processes. This added insight allows her to support projects with greater efficiency and a sharp eye on detail.

Organised, proactive, and always ready to take on a challenge, Georgia plays a key role in keeping projects running smoothly and ensuring everything stays on track from start to finish.

Maisie is our furry, four-legged colleague who is responsible for team wellbeing in the HOP Works office. Her responsibilities include regularly reminding us to step away from our screens for a quick walk, not letting us forget that treats are needed often (for all of us), and that sometimes afternoon naps and cuddles are needed to get through the day.
