In the 1928, Herbert Donovan Hopwood, a young salesman of firm ambition, decided to swap his growing career for a chance at a dream he’d been quietly nurturing time. Ever since his first big sale. H.D Hopwood knew he could be the finest manufacturer’s representative in the country. He leased a modest 1,000 sq warehouse and office in the Kingston waterfront, armed himself with a small staff of five, and began selling as many products.

Today, H. D. Hopwood is one of the largest distributors and importers of pharmaceutical and consumer products in Jamaica, as well as a licensed manufacturer. Representing some 40 multi-national companies, the Hopwood team now stands at 285 and distributes many leading brands such as Quaker, Cadbury, Kimberly Clark, Dole & Seven Seas.

We are more diversified now than we’ve even been. Our pharmaceutical and consumer products are distributed to a wide range of customers in Jamaica and to targeted markets in and around the Caribbean. It is our reputation for consistent efficiency, however, that has made us a trusted name in the industry.

In September 2001 the Neal and Massy Group of Companies, one of the Caribbean’s largest conglomerate acquired 100% ownership of H. D. Hopwood.
