Wimmera towns, with that lightning bolt of white on a blue background.
You know them well… they are the first one you’ll
call if you need an electrician. But maybe there’s a lot
you don’t know about Cec Hopper & Sons. For a start
they are not just electrical contractors; the Hopper Group provides

Company
History
Cec Hopper & Sons are a true-blue family company dating back
to 1962 when Cec Hopper founded his Electrical Contracting Company
based in Horsham in Victoria’s Wimmera. Cec operated the business
with only a small staff (wait until you see how they’ve grown!),
which included his two sons David and Barry.
In 1972 the three Hopper men formed a business partnership and then
in 1987 the company known as D&B Electrical Pty Ltd, trading
as Cec Hopper & Sons, was formed. David and Barry became the
owners and directors of the family business their father had started
25 years earlier. By January 2007 David’s sons Ashley, Christopher
and Simon and Barry’s sons Timothy and Glenn had joined the
business which became known as the Hopper Group.
But far from being simply an electrical contracting company the
Hopper Group have diversified over the years to become a High Voltage
industry. They also own and run:
- Wimmera Power
- CHS projects and
- Wimmera Aquatrail
The company now employs a work force in excess of 70 people working
on large scale electrical projects, and water and irrigation systems.
In addition to Wimmera Power, CHS Projects and Wimmera Aquatrail,
Cec Hopper & Sons continue to service the needs of the Wimmera
region with electrical, phone and information technology (IT) needs
with an excellent reputation for carrying out large and complex
work. People’s needs and technology are frequently changing
in these areas and Cec Hopper & Sons ensure they are skilled
in providing the service that Wimmera people need and deserve.
Being isolated from a large metropolitan area makes no difference
to Cec Hopper & Son’s staff who work under specifically
developed Occupational Health and Safety practices. They have the
latest technology, are highly qualified and experienced personnel
who provide practical and efficient design solutions to help you
achieve your goals. |
