“Apollo is celebrating 25 years in operation this year, and I am delighted that this milestone has coincided with an unprecedented growth period within the business,” he said.
The motorhomes and campervans will be built by Apollo’s highly successful manufacturing business, Talvor Motorhomes, in Australia and New Zealand, and within Canada and the USA by other well known manufacturers.
