Focal’s Expansion into the Middle East
Welcome to Focal, where innovation meets impact.
We are thrilled to announce our expansion into the Middle East, a significant milestone in our journey to deliver world-class services to the construction market. This exciting new chapter is led by our Middle East Partners, James Esau and Louise Collins, whose combined local and international experience uniquely positions Focal to bring transformative solutions to the region.
Leading the Way: James and Louise
James and Louise bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Focal’s Middle East operations. Their strategic vision and deep understanding of both regional dynamics and global trends enable us to deliver a comprehensive range of services that go beyond traditional expectations. With their leadership, Focal is poised to redefine how projects are executed in the Middle East, blending engineering excellence with cutting-edge digitisation to Focal's existing services to offer a full-service delivery model.
A Holistic Approach to Value Creation
At Focal, we understand that true value is not confined to capital costs or the bottom line. As James aptly puts it, "We recognise that true value extends beyond mere capital costs or bottom line; it encompasses the entire process, including programme efficiency, environmental impact, and strategic planning. By integrating a holistic approach, we deliver value throughout the project lifecycle."
This philosophy underscores our commitment to providing solutions that are not only efficient and cost-effective but also environmentally responsible and strategically sound. We believe that every project we undertake should contribute positively to the communities we serve and the planet we inhabit.
Building Partnerships, Attracting Talent
Focal’s expansion into the Middle East is driven by a vision to create an agile, boutique firm that resonates with clients and top-tier talent alike. “We see a significant market opportunity for an agile boutique firm that will not only captivate clients but also attract and retain top-tier talent, building lasting and powerful partnerships.” – Louise
Our approach is centred on collaboration, innovation, and excellence. We aim to forge strong, enduring partnerships with our clients while creating an environment that attracts the brightest minds in the industry.
Committed to Positive Impact
At Focal, we believe that everything we do should have a positive impact on people and the planet. Our expansion into the Middle East is not just about business growth; it’s about making a meaningful difference. We are dedicated to serving our clients, supporting our team, and enriching the communities we operate in.
As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite you to join us in shaping a future that is innovative, sustainable, and impactful. Together, we can achieve great things.
Welcome to Focal in the Middle East – where every project is an opportunity to make a difference.
