Hopetoun Estate Lunch  – December 2025

Last week at our annual Estate Lunch, we were delighted to have Lord Hopetoun, present long-service awards to members of the Hopetoun Estate team. The recipients were Donald Noble, Steve Swan, Annette Hatton, Mike Eagers, Craig McGregor, Bozena Grochala, and Jock Borthwick—who marked an extraordinary 55 years of service to the Estate.

We also celebrated Michele Purves, who was presented with a retirement gift in recognition of her 18 years of dedicated service in the office.

It was a truly lovely afternoon, bringing together colleagues, retired staff, estate contractors, and associates to celebrate commitment, loyalty, and shared history.
