2.00" We start with an amazing simple, but amazing successful, business - making sandwiches in Warrenpoint, Co. Down. From one sandwich bar Brian Reid and his wife Jackie have built an international business supplying sandwiches across the island of Ireland, the UK, Europe, the Middle East and now they have their eyes set on the USA - where Jackie initially got her sandwich making idea. But sending sandwiches to the US - the world capital of sandwiches - sounds a bit like shipping coals to Newcastle. However, Brian has made DeliLites into something very special and incredibly, with their secret ingredients, their sandwiches have a shelf life of up to a year. So that's why he's looking for business partners in the US along with someone with deep pockets (and industry knowledge ideally) to fund that expansion. And we're not talking about loose change...they're looking for tens of millions of Euro. AND, they're developing their business to become a B Corporation.

Of course, all of this didn't happen overnight, and speaking of overnight, listen to Brian about how, for ten years, he left his Sandwich HQ at 1am every morning, headed to Dublin dropping off sandwiches on the way, avoiding Dublin's gridlock by travelling in the middle of the night, and then home to Warrenpoint by 9am. That's what TeamGBS calls a gruelling schedule.

DeliLites has expanded from a two person team now, employing 250 people currently and having just got £500k funding from InvestNI they're looking for another 50 people across all disciplines to help with their push into the UK where there's a Brexit opportunity as UK sandwich makers can't find workers to make sandwiches there. It's a fantastic story, including Brian's explanation as to what motivates him, and why Gary Vaynerchuk is his 'hire in a heatbeat'.

25.00" Aonghus Shortt has a PhD in Power System Engineering, which led him initially to work in wind energy. However, Aonghus's career took a complete about turn when he tried to help his then girlfriend, now wife, with digestion issues, as she suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, a condition that affects about 1 billion people worldwide. Out of this concern for his girlfriend, FoodMarble was born to make a small palm sized device, not unlike a personal breathalyser. FoodMarble analyses the gases on the breath and can help 'read' what foods are causing digestion problems. It could be a world-winning business and having already sold 30,000 devices, and raised €5.5 million, the FoodMarble team are looking for fresh funds to bring the product, along with further planned innovation, to the waiting and suffering public.

Aonghus's 'hire in a heartbeat'? Grace Gifford Whittle aka his wife, the reason the whole business was started initially. Awww, that's nice!
