She has also received the NZHL Excellent Together Award and Growth Champion Awards and was named the 2023 NZHL CEO Supreme Champion. Her success story began from the outset when she became the top NZHL adviser in her first year – an achievement that remains unmatched.
Together with her husband Richard, Hopkins has cultivated a thriving family business and mentored their daughter, Alexandra, as they expanded their services into regions such as Ashburton, Timaru and the West Coast.
As a role model in the industry, Hopkins’ dedication to guiding clients towards financial freedom is unwavering. She works tirelessly to ensure they stay on track to meet their goals, providing them with sound insurance advice tailored to their specific needs. Her approach goes beyond just offering services; she fosters long-term partnerships with clients, working closely with them to secure the best possible outcomes. She also plays a vital role in mentoring the NZHL Papanui team to deliver an exceptional client experience.
Hopkins’ impact extended to helping the community recover after the devastating events in Garden City, where she and the NZHL Papanui team were instrumental in assisting clients to rebuild their financial lives. Her expertise and hands-on approach have fostered loyalty among clients across multiple generations, guiding them through the lending process and times of need.
For Hopkins, some of her greatest career highlights include helping multiple generations of families secure homes, repaying mortgages and achieving important life goals such as family holidays, funding education and planning for a secure retirement.
