Hi, I’m Jen<\/h2>\n

Director, Core Focus Business Solutions<\/p>\n

After more than 25 years working across finance, administration and operations, I set up Core Focus to do something I genuinely enjoy \u2014 helping other businesses get organised, stay on top of things, and free up time to focus on what they do best.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A career built across the full picture<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I’ve worked across a wide range of business functions throughout my career. For example, bookkeeping, financial admin, operations, compliance and stakeholder management have all been part of my day-to-day. Rather than specialising early, I built experience across the whole back-office picture \u2014 and that breadth makes a real difference to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, most clients don’t need separate people for their accounts, their admin and their planning. Everything stays joined up, nothing slips through the gaps, and there’s just one trusted point of contact to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Point of contact, many skills<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

“Running a business means the to-do list is always longer than the day. Core Focus exists to be that extra pair of trusted hands \u2014 reliable, organised and ready to help. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A particular passion for planning and grants<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Planning applications and grant support are where I find the work most rewarding. In particular, navigating a complex process, building a strong case, and helping a client get a great result \u2014 this is work I genuinely love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, many clients are surprised by what’s available to them. Small businesses often need help with change of use applications, while community clubs regularly miss out on funding they didn’t know existed. If you’re curious about what might be possible, I’m always happy to have a chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I work<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Working remotely with clients across the UK, my focus is on North Wales and Cheshire. Clear communication, no jargon, and a practical approach that fits around your needs \u2014 these are my promises to every client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, I treat everything with complete confidentiality. As a result, you’ll always know exactly where things stand and can trust that your information is in safe hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to find out more about how I work, please get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
