Success Story
At Apollo, we offer personal development plans tailored to everyone. Listen to Emma explain how she found her journey from apprentice to HR Advisor.
Warren, Senior Technical Support Engineer, 30+ years at Apollo
I have developed my expertise within Apollo and am able to engage with customers directly and share my knowledge as a technical engineer. Alongside that, the wonderful people that I get to work with everyday is the reason I’ve stuck with Apollo.
I love the 9‑day fortnight because it gives me extra time to manage childcare and balance life while my husband is away in the Navy. It's been a game‑changer for work‑life balance and family time!
Kae, Requirements Engineer
It’s fantastic that Apollo offers the option to buy more leave—it’s a great sign that they value employee satisfaction and work‑life balance and for me personally, this means more road trips in Benny the VW Campervan for next year.
Mandy, Business Technology Partner
Having access to a specialist menopause clinic was a real benefit of working for Apollo. Receiving a voucher and arranging the appointment was simple, and within a couple of weeks, I had an appointment with a menopause specialist.
