BW Forsyth Partners

A Significant Milestone for Flow Technology Flow Technology is delighted to announce its partnership with BW Forsyth Partners, marking an exciting new chapter for the business. Built on more than four decades of experience delivering complex projects safely, efficiently and at scale, Flow Technology has established a strong reputation as a trusted engineering partner across the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries. This partnership provides a strong foundation for Flow Technology’s continued expansion across the U.S. and Europe, further investment in its people and capabilities, and enhanced support for customers as their needs evolve. As manufacturers expand and modernise their operations, the need for specialised process-system expertise is growing. This is demonstrated by two recently secured U.S. projects that Flow Technology is delivering for leading global biopharmaceutical manufacturers investing in U.S. expansion. Flow Technology will continue under its existing leadership team, building on the experience, expertise and customer relationships developed over more than four decades.

"Managers are generally promoted into #management roles because they're good at the individual contributor jobs that they were in previously, and what makes you good as an individual contributor typically does not translate directly to people leadership and to management. Not investing enough in managers is really the core part of the problem. Not investing enough in those that have the privilege to lead and helping them understand that that's a privilege and the responsibilities to serve that come with that. I don't think that's very well taught in our education system and advanced education or in corporate training environments... "We already know that millennials and Gen Z in the workforce today have a very different expectation of leaders than the generations that came before them. They want to be led by people who lead with compassion, who lead with service and selflessness. Those are the emerging demands of leadership that we're not equipped for. We haven't built a #leadership model in corporate America that is prepared for that." Thanks to Laura Putre and IndustryWeek for this interview with our new CEO and Managing Partner, Patrick Berges: https://lnkd.in/gyBzwQ5M

We are proud to welcome Patrick Berges as our new CEO and Managing Partner.   Pat brings more than 25 years of global leadership experience, a deep belief in people-centered leadership, and a personal connection to the values that have guided Chapman & Co. since our founding. He is the founder of H3 Leadership, now part of our firm, and has led leadership development and culture transformation efforts across more than 100 countries.   This appointment also carries special meaning for our team. Chapman & Co. was built on the vision of Bob Chapman, the Chairman and long-time CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, who passed away earlier this year. We are grateful to welcome a leader who knew Bob, shares that conviction, and is committed to carrying the work forward.   We are energized by what Pat brings to this role and excited about the impact ahead - for our clients, our team, and the organizations we serve.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/efjQiWQk

It is with profound sadness that Barry-Wehmiller announces the death of its Chairman of the Board, Robert H. Chapman. Bob Chapman was more than a business leader, author and speaker, he was a relentless optimist who dedicated his life to building a better world. He worked to redefine what it meant to be a leader in business, to further the understanding that it was an awesome responsibility because the way we lead impacts the way people live. He worked tirelessly to bring more caring to business and built the foundation for Barry-Wehmiller to champion new definitions for success in business: by demonstrating that economic growth and human vibrancy can exist in harmony. Bob became CEO of a struggling Barry-Wehmiller in 1975 upon the death of his father, William Chapman. At the time, the company was a $20 million supplier of equipment for the brewing industry. As of 2025, when Bob handed the reigns of the business to his son Kyle Chapman, the current President and CEO, Barry-Wehmiller had become a $3.6 billion-plus global powerhouse with 12,000 team members and a portfolio spanning industrial and packaging automation, professional services, and life sciences technology. Beyond his business acumen, in the late 1990s into the 2000s, Bob underwent a personal transformation that changed his thinking from that of traditional “management” to what would later be called Truly Human Leadership. He then spent the last 15 years of his life sharing the lessons of his transformation by writing prolifically and speaking to audiences around the world. Bob once answered a question of what he would want his eulogy to say with: “He genuinely cared for the people whose lives he had the privilege of touching.” He often said he would not go to his grave proud of the equipment built or services provided at Barry-Wehmiller but, instead, the people who built them. Everyone in the Barry-Wehmiller family is proud to have been part of Bob’s span of care and our thoughts are with his beloved wife Cynthia and the entire Chapman family at this time.
