New Website Launched with New Office
August 2009 - Pure Focus launches its new web site giving visitors a more comprehensive and informative experience.
The new look reflects the changes that Pure Focus has gone through since its inception in 2005, from new Client testimonials to an overview of the type of services and programmes offered today. In line with these changes, the company has also moved to new offices at ‘Brooklands’, Berkshire, still closely serving the Thames Valley. The new site lists full contact details throughout.
August 2009 – Morley and Scott Partners observe significant changes in key personnel following Pure Focus programme.
Pure Focus continues to work closely with Partners and Managers at the ‘Top 50’ Accountancy firm, building a stronger team that is both more efficient and effective in their role. One key component of the programme is to put the cat amongst the pigeons by appropriately presenting the bare facts, this is an approach that gets results and makes differences that are noticed by others. Outcomes are testaments in themselves and are another key component that drives programme structure and success.
January 2009 – Pure Focus speaks about adapting to dramatic life changes quickly and confidently.
Pure Focus speaks at NHS Clinic to new mothers about the approaches needed to manage this life changing experience. These changes include emotional, mental, physical and practical, and often come with added pressures. The session looks at coping with these changes and managing pressures appropriately to enable it to be a positive experience.
Pure Focus strengthens resource, joining forces with Kangaroo Sky and Xcell Dynamics to offer a more diverse range of performance-based services. Associates work together to provide programmes to include training and managing the mind for excellence.
This series of workshops with RSHP interactively explores motivation and some of the choices that need to be made to lead a more positive life. Homeless groups learn about the importance of boundaries, choices and how comfort zones not only stop us from doing what we really want, but also keep us where we.
“I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but it works!” exclaimed one participant after successfully obtaining employment for the first time in several years.
Women’s Portfolio Get One Step Ahead in Networking

It uncovers some of the myths and misconceptions built around networking, and also offers a practical guide on the best approaches to use whilst sharing some tips on getting timely results that make a difference.
August 2007 – Synergy helps local women build on their self-confidence
Synergy is a community-based project offering a short series of self-esteem workshops and support for women local to Reading. Pure Focus works with Synergy delivering sessions that focus on five key elements that affect well-being including unique concepts surrounding the core.
“Pure Focus provided support with the development of the workshops designed to enhance women's self-esteem. The workshops delivered were highly interactive, individualised, thought-provoking and refreshingly practical. The facilitator was responsive and sensitive to the complex issues presented by the diverse group of participants, and consistently emphasised and modelled positive-thinking and realistic goal-setting. As a result of the support offered by Pure Focus, measurable, significant life-changes were initiated and reported by participants.”
Refer-On who operates a ‘business by trust’ policy, appointed Camille Froude of Pure Focus as Manager for the Slough & District group. She quickly helped members and visitors to build stronger, more credible relationships by sharing some of the essential skills required for strengthening rapport, such as how to communicate well and how to put appropriate listening skills into practice.
February 2007 - HoltSchool students get knowledgeable to good Customer Service.
Camille Froude of Pure Focus spends the day with year 10 students at Holt school, Wokingham, for an Enterprise Day that looks at some skills that make successful entrepreneurs. Camille led sessions on Customer Service, illustrating the importance of customer satisfaction and giving essential pointers on the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ on building customer loyalty. Most of the students had already experienced bad customer service, which had already left lasting impressions that they didn't want to re-create.
We join Reading Therapies Group, an established network of practitioners for furthering good psychotherapeutic practice. The group provides an opportunity for participation in the programme of regular meetings and workshops, with the aim of continually expanding our knowledge base, whilst also sharing experiences and ideas with other like-minded professionals.
October 2006 – Partner relationships strengthen across offices and give a stronger brand presence for the Practice.
Pure Focus works with Morley and Scott Partners over a two-day event pulling ideas together on how to become a more effective unit. It can be common practice for Partners in many accountancy firms to go about their own clients in their own way…great for building individual rapport, but togetherness of a Practice and its brand also have its place. The two days focused on developing and strengthening inter-office working and being a more effective unit.
