The Apollo Group's Scotland office has been awarded a £½ million contract by The Highland Council for a major insulation and roofing programme to be carried out on houses in Milton, Easter Ross.

The properties, built in the 1940s, are being improved to meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard.

The upgrade works being carried out by Apollo will greatly improve the homes' thermal performance and should mean that tenants’ fuel bills are less in future through reduced heat loss from their homes.

Eamonn McGarvey, Regional Director for Apollo in Scotland, said: "The Highland Council is an important new client for Apollo and the works that we will be carrying out are very much in line with Apollo’s specialist expertise and our considerable track record across Scotland."
