Our thanks to Gary Fleisher over at Offsite Straight Talk for a thoughtful piece on 4Ward Solutions Group and our founder and CEO, Ben Hershey.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
The article covers Ben’s background and history from owning and running manufacturing businesses to founding 4Ward in 2010. Ben’s father and industry pioneer, Don Hershey, urged him to put that hard-won experience and knowledge to work for other manufacturers. That background shapes 4Ward Solutions Group and how it works, including emphasizing that a factory’s problems rarely stay in one department, and real improvement comes from getting people, production and information to move in tandem.
The article also recaps how the wider 4Ward family (Design, Workforce, Foundry, Factory and Moducore) fits together to support the offsite industry. It’s a candid, insightful read from a respected voice in offsite construction.
