Regeneration experts, project management specialists and construction and property services firm Focus Consultants has made six new appointments in Nottingham and Leicester. The company also plans to take on additional staff at its recently opened office in London.

The firm, based at Phoenix Business Park in Nottingham, and with branches in Leicester, Lincoln, Boston and London, specialises in securing grant assistance and delivering projects and programmes. Across the UK, Focus has secured £730 million of grant assistance, and delivered more than £980 million of projects and programmes since 1994 - including heritage, culture and the arts, health, regeneration, affordable homes and energy carbon sustainability projects.

The recent appointments have been made in response to growing demand for services in the firm's Energy Carbon Sustainability Team and the Economic Development Team.  They will soon be joined in the new London office by project managers and building surveyors.

"We are very pleased to welcome six new employees, each of whom brings different talents to our teams," said Steven Fletcher, partner at Focus Consultants. "It's also exciting news that we are expanding our London office after winning a number of contracts in and around the capital."

The new employees in Nottingham are chartered and trainee quantity surveyors Matthew Gent and William Morris, Sophie Noon, who is a specialist researcher, building surveyor Andy Graham and assistant building surveyor Thomas Willis. Gareth Morris has also joined the Leicester office as part of Focus Consultants' Energy Carbon Sustainability Team.

Focus Consultants specialises in creative approaches to securing funding packages and delivering high quality projects across the Midlands and the UK.
