Founders Legacy

Celebrating the Vision and Dedication of

Andy Frost and Ian Bloomfield

Focus Networks was born from the partnership of two passionate and driven individuals, Andy Frost and Ian Bloomfield. What started as a small venture between friends quickly became the leading provider of IT services for schools and small businesses in Gloucestershire—a testament to their hard work, vision, and commitment.

Andy Frost

Andy brought an insatiable curiosity and a true love for technology to Focus Networks. Known as a “self-confessed geek,” he had an incredible depth of knowledge and a talent for seeing the potential in every new development. With a background in corporate IT and a belief in life-long learning, Andy laid the technical foundations that allowed Focus Networks to grow from a local startup to a trusted partner for dozens of schools and businesses. His legacy of curiosity, integrity, and excellence continues to inspire our approach to every project.

Ian Bloomfield

Ian’s extraordinary work ethic and dedication to going the extra mile were the heartbeat of Focus Networks. Known for his tireless commitment to his clients and his team, Ian approached every task with positivity, professionalism, and just the right touch of humour. His belief in service above all else shaped the company’s culture and earned the trust of countless schools and small businesses in the community. Ian’s legacy of unwavering commitment, warmth, and dedication lives on in every aspect of our work.

A legacy that lives on

Andy and Ian built Focus Networks on the values of innovation, trust, and personalised service. Their dedication to understanding each client’s unique needs and crafting tailored solutions remains our core mission. We honour their legacy every day by striving to offer the same level of commitment, reliability, and expertise they embodied.

While we miss Andy and Ian deeply, their influence continues to guide our journey. We remain committed to carrying their vision forward, fostering relationships, and delivering exceptional IT services that support the success of our clients.

“The best way to honour our founders is to continue the work they started, with the same passion, integrity, and respect that Andy and Ian brought to every project.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We have used Focus Networks since they first started and can highly recommend them. Andy, Ian and the team are all very professional and great people.

Matthew Cass

Focus Networks have been our support for about 4 years. They are always ready at the end of line with any queries. Usually they manage problems by remoting in and taking over control of the technology, for instance, I needed sound urgently for a You Tube video, I rang them during lesson time from the classroom, someone immediately remoted in and within minutes the sound was back on. On occasions when more work is needed they have arranged a convenient time to be on site. Focus have also arranged for new equipment and the installation of the equipment.

Everyone is always so quick and polite; if they cannot solve the problem immediately, which is rare, they endeavour to do so within a few days. I highly recommend their service.

Diane Simpson

We have worked with Focus for over 10 years, and always found the service to be prompt, friendly and professional. Whether this be for support requests, upgrading of IT equipment, or ensuring the security and reliability of our systems. The advice given is always timely, up to date and impartial.

We would highly recommend Focus to others.

Woodmancote School

The team at Focus Networks have provided excellent service to our Trust with all aspects of IT support and procurement. They are knowledgeable, well-informed and always keen to help. Focus leaders have helped shape the strategic planning and delivery across our schools: prioritising IT needs; navigating changes in legislation and managing infrastructure projects.

We look forward to working with the team at Focus Networks as the Trust continues to provide an excellent education for our children and the communities we serve!
