Making an Entrance

Making an Entrance is the podcast for the global entrance solutions industry—where security, architecture, automation and technology meet at the threshold of every building. If you specify, manufacture, install, design, service or invest in entrance systems, this is your front-row seat to the people shaping the future of the industry. Hosted by Steve Dickinson, an international industry leader with more than four decades of executive experience, each episode features candid conversations with the CEOs, founders, innovators and entrepreneurs building the businesses behind the world's doors, gates, loading systems and access technologies. These are the stories you won't find in a press release. From humble beginnings to global market leaders, guests share the pivotal decisions, leadership lessons, successes and setbacks that shaped their organisations—and the industry itself. But Making an Entrance isn't just about how companies were built. It's about where they're going next. Every conversation explores the forces reshaping the sector—from sustainability, regulation and digital transformation to artificial intelligence, automation and the changing expectations of customers and society. Whether you're leading a multinational business or running a specialist local company, Making an Entrance brings you the ideas, insights and conversations opening the doors to the future.
