After a career in the Royal Navy, In 1998, Jim set up Focus 21 Visual Communications Ltd, with Nigel Warrilow. The next 20 years saw Focus 21 achieve fantastic growth and success, winning many awards, and leading the way with personal and team development along the InfoComm (now Avixa) Global Industry Standards and acquiring two additional companies to expand and improve our offering across the UK which lead them to being one of the largest privately owned audio-visual installation companies in the country. The core of our success was down to our team of more than 100 people who under our guidance and nurture really became the backbone of the business. In 2018 Focus 21 were acquired by a global giant in the audio-visual industry and he made the decision to exit the business.
