Listen Later

3.00" Chris Deans, Director of Sales, Crane Worldwide Logistics, talks what's happening in worldwide supply chains. He says it's softening a bit....but there are new problems. But, he says that the slow train from China is the new highway to Europe. 16 days on the train is replacing 28 days at sea. Crane WW is also hiring its own planes to ship product from China to US and EU. Chris's big tip? Use Amazon Germany to ship product via Amazon to Ireland, avoiding the UK. Chris's 'hire in a heartbeat'? Brian Penny. Do listen to his amazing story to understand why.


25.00" Alison Campbell, Director of Knowledge Transfer Ireland, tells us how KTI can help your business, no matter what size, no matter what sector. She also tells us where the gold is, where there are pots of money across Europe to help upgrade your business or business processes. She says it all starts with a simple phone call. And her hire in a heartbeat? Well scientist Alison chose scientist Luke O'Neill, of course!


45.00" The secret of the saxophone is revealed. Phil Codd, MD of French owned digital transformation company Expleo explains why he made a video sitting beside a saxophone, which he never touched or played. All very strange. He also explains where the future of digital will bring businesses, that he's hiring but that the big problem for (all) business is finding skilled employees. Phil went wild, 'hiring' three people in a heartbeat - he chose former UK PM David Cameron, former Ireland President, Mary McAleese and finally, Larry Ellison, still boss at Oracle.
