Apollo is the contractor of choice for many of the UK’s metropolitan boroughs and county councils, with some 15% of the 300+ local authorities partnering with us in recent years. It’s a challenging sector because of the need to continually deliver best value as well as the sheer diversity of stock – from council buildings to tower blocks to disabled access. We price competitively but not at the expense of field resources – area coverage and response times are designed to minimise inconvenience to council staff, tenants and the general public. Management information is vital for many public sector clients and Apollo has taken a proactive approach to delivering quality intelligence via the Digital Dashboard.

With an increasing number of High Street names contracting with Apollo, retail is fast becoming one of our specialist sectors. With our ‘all types, all makes’ approach, we are a good fit with firms looking for a pragmatic, value-based partner – we can maintain and service any type of lift from any manufacturer, which is attractive to stores that can often have a bewildering array of lifts, hoists, conveyors and platforms.

Apollo has established a strong niche in the provision of lift services to housing associations. In the field, engineering resources and proactive call management ensure minimum disruption to tenants; while extensive management reporting and ready access to real-time call and service data support client efforts to optimise contractor performance and maximise value.

Apollo works with some of the biggest names in estates and property management, our investment in both nationwide field resources and client-oriented innovation (eg Digital Dashboard) appreciated by those entrusted with delivering effectively for their clients. Our commitment to comprehensive management reporting is particularly valued by those with large property portfolios, the detailed analysis and trend information proving invaluable when it comes to onward reporting.

Apollo frequently subcontracts for facilities management and property maintenance companies, our nationwide scope, ‘all types, all makes’ approach and technology-led delivery making us a trusted M&E partner. With coverage across the UK, versatile product knowledge and comprehensive reporting systems available, outsourcing organisations can leverage that professionalism and proficiency to secure the best service and best returns for their clients.

Apollo’s flexible, ‘all types, all makes’ approach makes sense for many of our clients with large industrial and commercial premises. A multiplicity of lifts, hoists, conveyors and platforms plus disabled access is the usual challenge, and our engineering team is trained to deal with the resultant complexity confidently and competently. We also bring into play our extensive supplier network to ensure rapid supply of replacement components. Deployment of permanent on-site engineers to ensure maximum uptime is an additional service available.

Apollo is a responsive and responsible contractor and this attitude wins us business in highly specialised fields. We currently service a number of major power stations in England, our willingness to undertake rigorous health and safety training and to work to strict security controls proving as influential as our technical expertise and commercial competitiveness.
