[15][16] Roughly one year later, the company, which had been negatively impacted by the 2007–2008 financial crisis, had become indirectly owned by the British Government amid moves to stabilise the economy.

[17][18] Despite this drastic move, Keepmoat's financial figures remained positive and even reported a 25 percent rise in January 2009 while maintaining its traditional business strategy and annual targets alike.

[21][22] Two years later, Keepmoat completed a merger with social housing provider Apollo, under which both firms maintained separate identities initially.

[25][26] During 2012, the firm controversially extended its standard payment term, negatively impacting its supply chain,[27] and reportedly brought at least one subcontractor to the brink of collapse.

[31][32] During late 2018, Keepmoat was hit by a £13.2 million loss from its West Midlands sites, which prompted the company to close its offices in that area.
