I’m Stuart Rose. I’m most alive where conditions bite and conversations get real. Snowy ridges, hard weather, high stakes — the mountains taught me calm under pressure and the craft of steady progress; the North Sea taught me how big organisations really work when the heat is on. That’s the heartbeat of Fire Events, Kyashar and Peak Challenge: bring people together to connect, recharge and reset, then make the next good move — on a spindrift ridge or in a high-stakes room. It’s why I built Fire Events in 2002: to create experiential learning programmes that mirrors real workplace pressures, so leaders and teams can practise what matters when conditions bite.

My flow craft sits at the intersection of problem solving, leadership programmes, team development events and wild places, blended with the quiet power of nature. I design experiences that help people think clearly and work well together — outcome-led workshops, hiking conferences that bring business and nature into the same conversation, and retreats that take you back to what matters.

Years of expeditions — the Alps, Himalayas, Arctic Norway, jungles of Belize, Atlas Mountains, The Andes  — showed me how trust, communication and clear roles unlock performance. I’m logical when it counts, a people person always; equally at home guiding a team through whiteouts or through a tough quarter.

What you can expect is simple:

intelligent challenge, steady judgement and a space where people feel safe enough to stretch. I’ve learned that when teams slow down, step outside and speak honestly, performance follows — stronger relationships, clearer decisions, better results.
