It’s been 10 years since The Focus Collection was formed, and to mark the milestone, Claire Weingaertner and the rest of her team are inviting current clients and suppliers to help them celebrate.

Formed in 2008, Focus Accounting, as it was known then, has developed consistently over the last decade, but remains true to its core values of providing the best quality service and advice to clients. “We like to reward and support businesses that work with us and that’s why we’re inviting people along to celebrate with us,” says Claire.

It’s a big year for The Focus Collection. Having moved into brand new premises at Retford Enterprise Centre last December, the company is now looking to expand and in September will be marking a decade in business.

Claire Weingaertner, who heads the business, says moving into new premises provides the space to expand her team and to increase her client base, something she said the company will continue to build on. “The larger office offers the space we need to expand and meet our clients. It’s open and welcoming and gives us what we need for where we are right now.”
