Awesome find OP! I usually bring along my aluminum jack when I take my spare with me, but I like your solution better. You don't happen to have a part number do you?
OE Jack Option
I posted about a jack I had (Jaguar) and a kind member brought it to my attention that it wouldn't work properly on the Focus.
So, I bought a Ford Edge jack kit (2007-2014), and tested it out. It lifts the car easily. It has a felt cover that keeps it all tidy. And it fits in the large under-hatch cubby hole perfectly. So it's basically invisible.
Look for this jack kit if you want something to stash away in case it's ever needed.

That's interesting, in the US the Mk3 Focus jack comes like this. It's a little smaller than the Edge jack and it doesn't wind quite as 'flat' (I compared my dad's ST to the Edge one I got). It might still fold flat enough to fit in the cubby, I didn't think it would but I didn't try it. It doesn't have the felt cover.
I thought I wanted this style originally because it could 'nest' in spare. But now I prefer to have the jack just 'always there'.
Edit: here's a good shot of the Focus jack collapsed to compare to the Edge. If anyone has a lowered car, the Edge jack definitely is lower profile (surprisingly).
Ok one more annoying point of research 😂
Looks like the Ford Flex has a jack in a bag too, and it's more similar to the Focus OE Jack. Might also be a good option.

Some of the Jaguar jacks will work, I mixed and matched my spare kit. The tire/wheel is from a 2016 Jag XJ but my spare tire kit (jack/wrench/foam) is from a 2015 Jag XF. It's hard to see from the pic but the XF jack will fit the pinch weld on the RS, I jacked the car up as a test just to be sure.
