Why we invested

Focus has achieved strong organic growth by providing cost-effective, integrated solutions across a wide range of products, coupled with service excellence. It has also acquired and integrated eight businesses over the past two years to expand its talent pool, build scale and enhance its product range. This was an opportunity for Bowmark to support the company in accelerating its organic and acquisition-led growth strategy.

The story so far

Focus is continuing its successful acquisition programme, as well as further investing in best-in-class systems to support its growth strategy. The company has completed 13 acquisitions since Bowmark’s investment in 2020 and, most recently, made a strategic investment in Zest4 to create a scalable channel business that will operate alongside Focus’ existing direct business.

With an investor of Bowmark’s pedigree on our side we are capitalising on the foundations we have laid and delivering on our ambitious growth objectives. Chris Goodman,Co-founder
