2014 has been one of the most successful so far for Focus SB. At the start of the year, Managing Director Roger Kemp realised that the company’s cumulative turnover would exceed the £50 million mark in 2014 and decided that this should be celebrated. A competition was launched and the customers lucky enough to place orders that took Focus SB through the £50 million barrier would be invited to join Focus SB for the day and receive a valuable prize. “I Simply trust the brand”
As part of the prize, the winners enjoyed the hospitality of Focus SB and a tour of the company’s extensive manufacturing facilities in East Sussex. Afterwards, Steve Rogers, Electric Centre, Cheltenham described how Focus SB’s support helps make his life easier, Steve says, “I simply trust the brand. I always recommend them for any middle to high end installations. The standard and non-standard range of finishes is superb all backed up by great service. The no minimum order is fantastic for my customers who may need the odd additional item to complete a job.”
“They do things that others can’t do”
Des Harle of Kew Electrical, Guildford adds, “We have used Focus SB for over 25 years. They do things that others can’t do and we love the personal service. They have a really extensive range and can do custom plates when required for designer jobs. Focus SB support us as much as possible and have created a display area for our trade counter, they also have a great range of brochures for our contractors to show their customers. We are turning to them more and more as customers demand more complex electrical accessories.”
The tour covered all aspects of the production process including the machine room, finishing plant, quality control and dispatch. All the winners were interested to see how many stages are involved in the manufacture of quality electrical accessories and were surprised to see how much hand finishing was required. Des explains, “You can see that Focus SB plates are not just churned out, everyone takes pride in their job. Now I understand why they always look a cut above the rest, and seem to last longer.”
