Episode 65: Shane Forward - Hosted by Bryar Stewart


Episode 65 of The Icehouse podcast, hosted by Bryar Stewart, is with Shane Forward, Director at Wingate Architects - architects and interior designers who run a design-led practice where design is at the forefront of everything they do.


Shane was bold and jumped in business ownership later in his career. He is currently on Owner Manager Programme 53, enjoying the connection with other business owners, upskilling in running teams, leading the business vision and deciding on future steps.

The conversation highlights Shane’s passion for his industry, people and craft. The business faces similar challenges to others – uncertainty, hiring people, supply chain issues and increased costs. It keeps Shane on his toes, but everything is an opportunity, and that means taking and celebrating every win as they come.

It’s an inspiring listen for business owners determined to grow a healthy business in this time.
