The addition is part of a national growth strategy, which has seen the opening of 15 new offices nationwide in the last financial year.
Infocus’ national sales manager, Tony Sandercock, said EKO was a highly respected planning firm, adding that its directors Jeff Ebsworthy and James Kidd were a “fantastic” addition.
