Bringing over 25 years experience to the GCC region, Focus Management International is the global division of Focus Management Consultants Limited which specialises in strategic recruitment activity for the demanding FMCG, Food and Beverage retail, manufacturing and hospitality sector.
Current briefs see the business working across UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, India, Lebanon and Kuwait, and in the last six month the business has also recruited for major clients based in Pakistan, South Africa and Egypt.
The dedicated Dubai team works worldwide to secure the very best candidates and with 95% client referrals, Focus Management International boasts a vast client portfolio of many of the leading organisations in the market.
James Everall, Regional Director explains “I worked for the Group in the UK and regularly visited the GCC region to support our clients. It became very clear that they wanted us working here locally to support their strategic plans and recruit entire teams for them”. The Food and Beverage industry is a hugely dynamic sector, and requires very specific skills, knowledge and frequently qualifications to ensure senior level resourcing success. “We are able to draw on a database of over 500,000 candidates from local and international markets to find the perfect solution for our clients. Our recent move to Knowledge Village has allowed us to broaden our service with recruitment and regional client account management handled directly from the office here in Dubai.”
Stephen Jones, MD of the group says “We are excited to welcome Yassine and Kate on board, and to bolster our digital presence with our new international website. We actively welcome approaches from other senior recruitment consultants as we continue to invest in our expansion across both the international and UK divisions.”
“The Dubai team has a fantastic opportunity to develop long term strategic partnerships with clients in the region and beyond. I am absolutely delighted by the client response we have had, working with so many highly successful and reputable businesses. We see the potential for significant business growth for Focus Management International at Knowledge Village.”
