By Apollo Projects
CLIENT: Poplar Grove Winery
LOCATION: Canada
Poplar Grove hand picked Apollo after a world wide search for the most suitable and experienced winery design and construction specialist.
Apollo’s role on the new winery has been significant and included an active involvement in the projects feasibility and challenging the owners on the ‘real’ project objectives after several design concepts were developed and proved far too costly.
The stunning new winery is testament to a true partnership between Poplar Grove and Apollo on all aspects of the winery from the initial conceptual design through to the final finishing and landscaping. Apollo’s role was all encompassing taking responsibility for everything relating to the project from design, City approvals, suppliers and contractors through to plant commissioning.
We are a nationwide Design and Build company with specialist knowledge and experience across verticals as diverse as cold storage, dairy, wine, food and beverage processing, commercial and retail spaces, and recreation and leisure.
Whatever the project, our focus is simple - listen to our client and deliver absolute trust and certainty from the start.
At Apollo, we've never been afraid to challenge the status quo.
When Craig Waghorn and Paul Lloyd started Apollo in 2001, they were determined to break away from the traditional management process and do things differently. They saw an opportunity to partner with clients from the very start, taking their ideas right from concept all the way through to completion – something that was poorly executed in the industry!
Today, Apollo is a leading New Zealand design and construction company with over 40 professional project delivery and support staff across the country. We regularly work with major national companies including Fonterra, Goodman Fielder, George Weston Foods, Ngai Tahu and Lion Co., as well as private owner-operated businesses, sports organisations and Government/Council entities.
Even though Apollo has grown over eighteen years, we’ve never lost our core value that a ‘client’s trust is everything’. Apollo is different simply because we operate as a partner with our clients – our goal from the very beginning has always been to build strong relationships from which we can deliver successful projects.
