Our Heritage
Nic

Nic Cox, founded Focus Fire and Safety (aka Focus ESM Auditing), in 1998 with a vision to provide comprehensive fire auditing and building safety services. With a strong belief in the importance of safety, particularly fire safety, Nic recognised the need for property owners and managers to not only comply with statutory obligations but also ensure that all essential safety measures were in accordance with relevant regulations, standards, and practices. He also brought an ethos that made our business different from the rest -you can’t identify a problem, without providing a solution. This remains key to our service proposition today.
