Overview

Close Focus is a technical and management consultancy practice. Founded by Frank Given in 2015, with cross sector tendering support expertise in the supply of Goods and Services, and Construction and Facilities Management.

I have supported micro and small businesses that are new to public sector tendering to get them ‘tender ready’ and get their first wins, and seasoned businesses looking to gain an edge in their next bids.

I have developed processes to support emerging bid requirements for social impact (such as ‘Buy Social’) and environmental and social governance elements for NI, RoI and GB Public Procurement Competitions.

My 20+ year corporate career includes:

  • 10 years technical engineering experience developing products for global Healthcare and Life Sciences markets
  • Commercial Sales Development in Factory and Process Automation across Ireland
  • UK and Ireland wide Training and Consulting in Global Product Compliance
  • Senior leadership role as Global Head of Health, Safety and Environment for a large multinational manufacturing company.
  • I am a Fellow of the UK Institute of Leadership and Management, and a member of Engineers Ireland, sitting on the Northern Regional Committee. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Technology Management from the Open University and Mini MBA from Queens University.
