Welcome to The Ward Hadaway Fastest 50 Podcast, where we sit down with entrepreneurs and business leaders who are rewriting the rules of growth in the UK and beyond.

In this episode, hosts Alistair McDonald and Matt Cormack are joined by Forfusion CEO Steven Forrest. Forfusion is a Newcastle-based technology business that designs, delivers and manages mission-critical IT infrastructure for clients across the public and private sectors. Steven shares how Forfusion has built its reputation by staying true to a quality-first strategy.

If you’re leading growth (or about to), you’ll get practical insight on:

• How to build a technology business on a foundation of quality output rather than chasing revenue at pace
• How to use apprenticeships and ex-military recruitment to build a diverse, high-performing team from the ground up
• How to balance innovation with operational and financial risk when delivering complex IT infrastructure
• How to grow through client expansion and referrals rather than aggressive outbound sales
• How to maintain a strong culture and shared values as a business scales rapidly
