THE APOLLO GROUP SELECTS SOLOPROTECT FOR ITS RESIDENT LIAISON TEAM 

One of the country’s fastest growing property groups, Apollo, has put the welfare of the members of its Resident Liaison Team at the heart of its health and safety policy by purchasing Identicom units as part of the SoloProtect best-of-breed protection service. Now members of the169-strong team have peace of mind knowing that they are being monitored in potentially hazardous situations and can discreetly summon help if required.

Established in 1976, the Apollo Property Services Group has over 30 years experience of working successfully within the public and private sectors. The group originally established its credentials in the challenging London and South East regions where it retains a strong presence today. The Resident Liaison Team operates as the interface between the residents, sub-contractors, client representatives and the Apollo team, dealing with public and private sector projects that range from occupied affordable housing regeneration to social and residential housing developments.

Prior to adopting SoloProtect, the Apollo Group’s Resident Liaison Officers carried out their own risk assessment and the company employed a policy of never letting an Officer enter a property alone. Liaison with colleagues was carried out utilising a signing-in and signing-out system that notified managers where an individual member could be located.

“We trialled Identicom as part of the SoloProtect package and the feedback was excellent.” stated Vicci Flack, Resident Liaison Manager at the Apollo Group. “Identicom provides our Officers with peace of mind and is an invaluable asset for lone worker safety”.

Chosen by the Apollo Group for its excellent service, Connexion2’s SoloProtect combines the five-core elements that are essential for a credible and complete lone worker solution. These include the award winning Identicom device, SIM and inclusive airtime, user training, 24 hour manned monitoring and unique TotalCare™ pre & post sales customer support package.

“SoloProtect ticks all the boxes by providing us with a total solutions package”, said Vicci. “The Identicom lone worker device provides our Resident Liaison Officers with the infrastructure to manage their own safety and the reassurance they can quickly and discreetly summon help if needed”, she concluded.
