S3 E2: Bobby Healy - Dropdown Menu

S3 E2: Bobby Healy - Dropdown Menu

Join Gordon and Ger and they take flight with Bobby Healy of Manna Air Delivery, the Irish drone delivery company that's posing a serious threat to Amazon's dominance of the ecommerce space. Has the saviour of independent retailers literally been heaven sent?
 
Drones promise much. Delivery within minutes from local retailers that bypasses clogged roads and is kinder on the environment. But will it catch on in the West? Will people complain? (Yes, they will.) Will regulators want a say? (Of course, they will. But that turns out to be a good thing.)
 
And the biggest question of all: can a small Irish start-up beat the likes of Amazon and Google at the drone delivery game? Be shocked. Be amazed. Because you may not have heard of Manna Air Delivery, but with 200,000 delivery flights already flown, they aren't the underdogs in this fight. Amazon is.
 
Find out how skydelivery could revolutionise your retail business in this special episode, recorded live at StudioForty9's Excellence in Ecommerce conference earlier this month.
 
Warning: this episode contains pirates.
