Apollo Wins £10m Sheffield City Council Contract

The Apollo Group has won a contract valued at £10 million with Sheffield City Council to carry external and Decent Homes work to properties around the city.

The integrated property services provider will deliver insulated over-cladding work to 1000 dwellings in 40 four, five and six storey maisonette blocks on the Lansdowne and Hanover estates in central Sheffield, alongside digital TV upgrades for some 700 homes. A further 200 properties will receive Decent Homes improvements work.

The project, which will run for two years, is due to commence in late June, and will be delivered by a workforce comprising both approved specialist sub contractors and directly employed labour. Apollo will work closely with Sheffield City Council to offer local employment training opportunities in the area.

Dan Germann, Apollo's Regional Director, said: "Securing this substantial contract with Sheffield Council is testament to Apollo’s growing presence in our northern region. Our competitive bid was evaluated on both quality and price, highlighting our high standards of work and our efficient approach to operational delivery. We are very much looking forward to beginning work and to demonstrating over the next two years the benefits that Apollo can bring to the Council and its residents."

Thanks to an increase in staff numbers, following its rapid expansion in its northern region, Apollo is also in the process of relocating its office to larger premises in the city's Quadrant Business Centre.
