From Listed buildings to modern eco-homes, Focus Consulting has been providing quality in-depth advice combined with highly rated customer service to clients across London and the Southeast for a quarter of a century.
Q&A with The Director
Tony Hulejczuk founded Focus in October 1998, after 20 years in property and construction and a few years overseas. Tony has been a Chartered Surveyor for 33 years and during this period Tony has helped support many others to become qualified.
As Chartered Surveyors the firm is regulated by the RICS and having this association has ensured the company has maintained its professional reputation and upholds the internationally recognised standards of the institution.
We asked Tony about what inspired him to start Focus and what has been the key to its success. In the following Q&A he explains a bit more about the history of the company.

Why did you start Focus Consulting?
When we started out it was very much because I wanted to be my own boss – I’d always wanted to do the best for my clients and I could see the way I wanted to advise and support them. I’d been working in a corporate and as the company split up, I saw an opportunity to set up my own consultancy, grow and develop my own team in order to ensure that we could always provide value to a client.
You mainly work across the Southeast and London, so why choose Brighton and Hove as your base?
I set up the company here because it is a great working environment with a fantastic network of people in the industry. Over the past 25 years I have got to know so many people and it is a pleasure to have been able to continue working with them.
It remains our home because being here, with such a strong team, has meant we’ve been able to maintain the strong values which have enabled our clients across the UK and Europe achieve high-value outcomes.
To what do you attribute your success?
Our success can be attributed to a firm commitment to quality and a keen understanding of our client’s requirements.
We have managed to retain our traditional personal service while adopting modern values and Whatever the project size, the highest standards of service are maintained using qualified RICS accredited professionals and the latest technology in conjunction with tried and tested practices and processes.
What are your key highlights?
It’s a great mix – there are the clients and projects of which I am proud but also the huge amount of work we have done in the community and the monies we have raised for charity through our Golf Days as well as other events.
And of course there are our big celebration anniversary events – I have great memories of our 5 and 10 year anniversary parties. I admit I am very much looking forward to our 25th Anniversary Party which has been in planning for some time now.
Where do you see the Company going in the next 25 years?
I am the fortunate position where I have an amazing team who have played a significant role in helping the business grow and mature over the past decades.
We have just had another new team member arrive, and I am lucky that I can have such confidence in the team, that I know the future success of the company isn’t just all on me as the MD. I know that they will be continuing to bring new ideas to the business, putting long terms plan in place and supporting Focus Consulting’s continued growth and success for the next 25 years at least.
What are your top 3 tips for running a successful company?
- Never rest on your laurels. Always look for new opportunities ahead.
- Complete the work in front of you to the highest standard, and you will be asked to do more.
- Be honest and professional.
Any final words?
Here’s to the next 25 years!
Congratulations Tony!!!
