People

Apollo is proudly family owned and operated, and as such, management are both financially and personally invested in the business. Founded by Gus and Carolyn Trouchet in 1985, Apollo is now owned by sons Luke Trouchet (CEO) and Karl Trouchet (CFO).

Since 1997 and 1998 respectively, Luke and Karl have expanded the business significantly, initiating international expansion to New Zealand and the USA. They have developed several new companies and brands including Hippie Camper, Cheapa Campa and leading manufacturer Talvor. The company is now both vertically and horizontally integrated and has won numerous industry awards.

Enjoy the advantages of a large company with a fantastic reputation combined with the personalised service and attention to detail associated with smaller, family-run organisations. Apollo does not exist to serve the stock market or faceless executives, but you, our valued client.
