•Communication technology specialist Apollo Cloud is marking a significant milestone, celebrating three years in business with the addition of its 300th client and a move to new city centre offices. The company has made impressive strides in the past year, showcasing its growth and commitment to providing top-notch services.
Growth and New Beginnings
Founded by Michelle Atkinson and Jonathan Marsden, Apollo Cloud has quickly established itself as a key player in the communication technology sector. The company provides essential services such as VoIP telephony, which allows users to make phone calls over the internet, unified communications that integrate various communication tools, business mobiles, and internet connectivity. This range of services caters to a wide array of sectors including business, education, logistics, healthcare, recruitment, and finance. Notable clients include well-known names such as Reed Boardall, The Private Office, LivingCare, The Property Buying Company, Monroe Estate Agents, and York Race Course. Recently, Apollo Cloud welcomed Commerson Estate Management, a growing Leeds-based estate management company, as its 300th customer. This partnership highlights Apollo's commitment to supporting local businesses and reflects the company's remarkable expansion over the past year, which has been achieved through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Notably, Apollo acquired Harrogate-based Xi Communications in October 2025, further strengthening its market position.
Client Testimonials
Commerson Estate Management CEO Richard Wien expressed the importance of reliable communication as their company manages a portfolio of 29 sites:
“As our business has grown, we needed a communications partner that could grow with us. Apollo Cloud has delivered a reliable, modern solution across our portfolio, and the service we’ve received has been exceptional. The team has been responsive, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to ensuring everything runs smoothly – far exceeding our expectations. From sales through to implementation and support, everyone knew exactly what was happening, making the entire project feel seamless and well managed.”
This positive feedback underscores the value that Apollo Cloud provides to its clients, ensuring they remain connected and capable of delivering outstanding service to their own customers.
Future Plans
Apollo Cloud's CEO and co-founder, Jonathan Marsden, shared his excitement about reaching this milestone:
“We’re incredibly proud that Commerson Estate Management has become our 300th customer. Reaching this milestone with another Leeds business makes it even more special. We firmly believe in supporting local businesses wherever we can, and it’s fantastic to see two ambitious, customer-focused Yorkshire-based organisations working together. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Commerson team as they grow, ensuring they have the communications technology and support they need every step of the way.”
In addition to the growing client base, Apollo Cloud is relocating to new premises at The Calls this month. This move is part of a broader strategy to accommodate further growth.
Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, Michelle Atkinson, remarked:
“Reaching 300 customers in three years is an achievement we’re very proud of, and testament to the hard work of the entire team. But we’re not stopping there. The infrastructure we now have in place puts us in a strong position for further growth, both organically and through future acquisitions, and relocating to new premises at The Calls this month gives us the space we need for this next growth phase. These are exciting times at Apollo Cloud.”
