Following the appointment of Gary Stevens as CEO six months ago Focus SB Ltd. is pleased to announce some further changes to the company structure and management team.

From the 1st July Gary will assume the role of Managing Director, with overall responsibility for creating and implementing the companies planned expansion and 5-year development plan.

To help support the anticipated expansion in sales and future product development three new senior management roles have been created, and will be filled by existing members of staff.

Steve Moss, will become Sales and Marketing Manager, this role will oversee both internal and external sales functions (including export) and also company marketing.

Duncan Ray, becomes Supply Chain & New Product Introduction Manager, to implement a more organised and formal new product development process into the Company.

Chris Turner continues in his role as General Manager with full responsibility for Engineering, Production and Assembly. 

Gary Stevens, MD, says, “I would like to congratulate the new senior management team on their appointments and I look forward to working with them in order to make the plan a reality and in turn see us grow significantly over the next 5 years. We have some significant opportunities open to us that will ensure that the Company has a secure and prosperous future, we have some exciting times ahead of us!”

Roger Kemp, Chairman, adds, “I have no doubt that the changes present some exciting new opportunities for people to develop within the business. I see it as the start of a new chapter in the development of Focus SB as a major electrical accessory manufacturer in the UK.”
