Growth by design with Mark Thompson

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, March 5, 2026 • Duration 27:05

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 Lesley Fairclough are joined by Mark Thompson, Managing Director of Ryder Architecture, to discuss how to scale without compromising your values or culture

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

How to step into change and set a clear strategic direction
How a clear strategic framework and annual planning keep the team aligned as the business scales
How to expand into new markets while protecting standards, culture and momentum
How moving to an Employee Ownership Trust changes decision making, accountability and long-term resilience

From Newcastle to London, Hong Kong and Vancouver, Mark shares the thinking behind Ryder’s growth and the leadership habits and support that keep it sustainable.
