My work recently switched vendors and my older Dell monitors were swapped for these:

I can connect the MBP to one of them using the Mini Display Port to Display Port connector and the screen "continues" from the MBP to the monitor - is there any steps to follow to daisy chain the second monitor so I can use the MBP in clamshell mode?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11)
To the best of my knowledge the Mac does not support daisy-chaining of monitors.
There is a USB 3.0 adapter to connect a second display to your Macbook.
Thank you - do you know if this will simply mirror the same display or enable a continuous display from one monitor to another - meaning I can have different apps open on each monitor?
Thanks Grant - I had a found a thread or two about daisy chaining a couple of Dell monitors but was not sure - if that would carry over to the HP ones or whether the facility simply is not built in
USB adapters create new display Hardware. It is not a mirror of anything unless you choose to set it as a Mirror. But USB displays but it can be slow to update, so you should use its display for things other than full-motion Video or extra-fine mouse tracking.
"Extended desktop" is a part of Mac OS, and is available automatically to every well-crafted MacOS Application (unless they take deliberate steps to defeat it). this graphic explains it better than any words i could add. The display icons shown are proportional to the display size in pixels, and can be dragged to represent that actual arrangement of you displays on your bench. Then the mouse moves freely across the boundary between displays, and can drag anything including an entire Window onto the other display:

continuous display from one monitor to another -
that is "Extended Desktop". You can even park a window half on each display, and it will scroll and update "the right way".
I can have different apps open on each monitor?
strictly speaking, that is "Displays have Separate Spaces"
the two are mutually exclusive.
