Focus Group is a 1,500-person technology services company with £300m in revenue, backed by Hg Capital. Following our $1bn valuation in 2024, we’re scaling rapidly and investing in AI (artificial intelligence) to transform how we operate and how we serve our 30,000 small and medium-sized business customers. As we continue to expand our portfolio and make strategic acquisitions, we’re committed to setting new industry standards in managed service excellence.

Our Technical Engineers provide remote and onsite support and installations for customers of all sizes, from small and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises.

Carry out maintenance work on customers’ ICT (information and communications technology) services, either remotely or onsite, and update our case management and field services tools with the work you’ve started and completed.
Install and configure a wide range of ICT solutions, either remotely or onsite.
Give valued customers a high-quality experience when you install or maintain their IT or telephony (phone system) services.
