In August 2001 Apollo Projects was commissioned by Wairau River Wines to design and build a 1,600m² winery with associated plant services in Rapaura Road, Marlborough ready for the 2002 harvest. Since the initial project, the winery has expanded with the addition of a 500m² finished wine store in late 2002, a bottling hall and canopy area in 2004, and an additional 700m² of winery processing area in 2007/08. In 2014 Wairau again engaged Apollo to install six 160,000 litre wine tanks in preparation for the 2015 vintage. This included the pouring of the tank slab, upgrading the plant room to accommodate the new tanks and connection to existing services.

About the
Professional

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.
