We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Andrew Fordyce, Chairman and founding member of ifse Group. Andrew passed away peacefully on 10th January 2025, leaving behind an incredible legacy of leadership, innovation, and dedication to the hospitality design industry.
From his early days in hospitality management to creating ifse in 1991 with Ron Hodge and Bill Moore, Andrew’s career was defined by his creativity and passion. He brought his vision to life, designing iconic spaces for renowned brands like Williams F1, Kew Gardens, and Sony.
As a leader, Andrew was not only a pioneer of ideas, but also a champion for his team, guiding ifse’s transition into an Employee-Owned Trust in 2022, a first in the industry.
His spirit, kindness, and innovative mind will forever be a part of the ifse family and the wider industry.
Thank you for inspiring us all, Andrew. Rest in peace.
