driving around 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 many more services to the

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.
