Description
1.00" Shout out for AdvanceCT, the right people to talk to if your business is thinking of setting up in the US. Talk to us if you'd like to know more. 2.30" Tom Murphy is looking for distributors for his world-beating Mayo made shaving oil, De Facto, sponsor of our podcast. No matter where in the world you are, and if you know the grooming market intimately, then Tom wants to talk to you. However, only high-energy folk need apply. 3,30 Críona Turley, founder Capella, the platform for hybrid working. If you need your employees' home workplace assessed for 'health and safety' Capella can do big numbers in a short time.Críona and her co-founder Victoria Yanakos, based in Manhattan, are now set on building a global business, backed by Enterprise Ireland (she gives them a hearty shout-out). Incredibly during the thousands of assessments her company has carried out she has seen people working from their cars (a full 8 hour day) and another who was working from a wardrobe in an attempt to get quiet from kids at home. Another service they provide is making the workplace more exciting, to encourage people back to the office. She says that people are NOT going to work full time in the office, but they will be three days at home, two days in the office. Her 'hire in a heartbeat'. Margaret O'Brien, former RTE continuity announcer and star (and her mother) 25.00" Wasters. That's what people who waste food are. TeamGBS brings you Tuam based DigiTally, Patrick McDermott (also of Stocktaking.ie) says he can give businesses an 8% gross profit lift by making food hospitality management much more efficient. The company has already headed overseas, starting with the UK, but Patrick is quick to say that cracking that market was done with 'great difficulty'. He has decided to focus on Liverpool and Manchester rather than trying to cover all of Britain in one go. They find they can find leads through industry networking events such as those run by the British Irish Trading Alliance. His 'hire in a heartbeat'. Brian Tracey, frog eater (oh and author of 'Eat That Frog') - getting more of the important things done today. 50.00" A cure for blackspots. Colin Cunningham, founder Cellnex and Caroline Hofman, CEO of Laois Chamber of Commerce join TeamGBS to discuss mobile phone blackspots that continue to cause problems to businesses across the country. However, Cellnex says that if they were given a relatively small amount of government funding that they could solve a big chunk of the problem. GetConnected.ie is a site we learn about that is available across the country - and that may be able to find and sort out wireless signals for mobile.(9 out of 10 problems can be solved). Alpha Wireless is a company based in Laois that gets a very positive mention. Caroline Hofman's 'hire in a heartbeat' would be Michelle Obama (she mentioned a Michelle Obama Plaza for Laois!) and Colin Cunningham's 'hire in a heartbeat' is Michael O'Leary for what Ryanair's prices have meant for businesses trying to do business in the UK. All our great insights are brought to you by De Facto Shaving Oil, proud sponsors of That Great Business Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
