At Aerial Cities 2024, panellists discussed “Trends and opportunities: An industry perspective on the past successes and challenges ahead.” Key takeaways from the discussion: ➡️ Manna Air Delivery proves #profitability is possible — but #regulation is the roadblock. Operating thousands of flights per month with just four aircraft, Manna has built a revenue-generating suburban delivery model. Yet, slow regulatory progress is limiting expansion in key markets like the UK. ➡️ "A bad #framework is better than no framework." Industry leaders stressed that unpredictable #BVLOS regulations are keeping businesses in trial mode. The US and Italy are advancing, while the UK remains stuck in test environments without a clear path to commercial #scaling. ➡️ AI, #satellite tech, and detect-and-avoid systems are the backbone of large-scale #drone operations. Amazon Prime Air is refining multi-layered detect-and-avoid systems, while Telespazio is solving #GPS accuracy issues in urban environments with satellite-based navigation. Moderated by Lorenzo Murzilli, Co-founder & CEO of Murzilli Consulting, the session featured expert insights from: Carlos Hernandez Medel, CCO at Telespazio Ibérica; Duncan Casey, UK Head of Airworthiness & Certification at Amazon Prime Air; Bobby Healy, Founder & CEO of Manna Drone Delivery; Alex Brown, Director at Skyports Drone Services; Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace; and Ewa Gowers, Head of SARG Operations & Programmes at the UK Civil Aviation Authority (representing Sofia S. from the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom).

Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce the latest episode of the Tech On Toast podcast, where we dive deep into the world of logistics and delivery with Patrick Eve, the Head of UK at Nash. If you're in the hospitality or retail sectors, this episode is a must-listen! Here are three key takeaways that stood out to me: The Evolution of Delivery Services: Patrick shared fascinating insights into how delivery services are evolving, especially in the hospitality sector. With the rise of catering and meal kits, businesses are looking for ways to enhance their delivery offerings. Nash is at the forefront of this change, providing customizable logistics solutions that allow restaurants and retailers to manage their own delivery experiences while maintaining brand integrity. This shift is crucial as more businesses recognize the importance of owning the customer journey. Data-Driven Decision Making: One of the most compelling points discussed was the significance of data in understanding customer behavior. Patrick emphasized how businesses can leverage customer data to improve their delivery services. By tracking metrics such as delivery times, customer preferences, and even pilfering incidents, companies can make informed decisions that enhance their operations and customer satisfaction. This data-centric approach is essential for businesses looking to thrive in a competitive market. The Importance of Reliability: In the world of delivery, reliability is everything. Patrick highlighted how Nash's platform ensures that businesses can provide a consistent and reliable delivery experience. With features like real-time tracking and route optimization, businesses can manage their internal and external fleets effectively. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also streamlines operations, allowing staff to focus on what they do best—providing excellent service.

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc (OTC:FMHG) UK head and manager of @whiskybullauctions Jacob Carter discussed trends in the whisky auction market with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Carter noted that over the first three months of 2024, there has been a stabilisation in Scotch whisky prices, while Japanese whisky continues to experience a decline from its peak in April 2022. The bottle market is anticipated to improve and return to its former prominence by September 2024, offering bottle traders more market flexibility compared to cask trading, which requires a longer investment period. Carter said a recent market pullback has created opportunities to purchase rare bottles at lower prices, potentially leading to profits as the market recovers. In line with Fah Mai Holdings' approach, he highlighted @whiskybullauctions' policy of transparency and honesty in market dealings to prevent investors and collectors from overpaying or getting stuck with unsellable items. Reflecting on the past 12 months, Carter noted significant fluctuations in auction prices for rare whiskies, with some notable declines in value but an overall slow recovery in prices. He emphasized the importance of honesty and education in the whisky investment and collecting community. #WhiskyMarketTrends #FahMaiHoldings #WhiskyBullAuctions #ScotchWhisky #JapaneseWhisky #BottleMarketRecovery #RareBottleInvesting #AuctionMarketInsights #WhiskyCollecting #MarketFluctuations #ProactiveInvestors ##invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Elaine Gregersen was 24 weeks pregnant when her waters broke. Having endured sickness throughout her high-risk pregnancy, she and husband Mark had not suspected anything sinister was happening when she appeared to be suffering from bladder weakness too. After a traumatic 24 hours in the maternity ward, the Gregersens were faced with the reality that their twin boys, Henry and Blake, were unlikely to both survive beyond the neonatal unit. In this interview with Olly, they tell their story. Content warning: intense experience, infant mortality. — Meanwhile, in the Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates if, following the Coronation of King Charles III, Republican sentiment is trending upwards. What path is there for Royal refuseniks to achieve their desire for an elected UK Head of State?

How are platforms like Substack changing the digital marketing game? For Stephanie Bonnet, Head of Corporate Communications at EDF in the UK and our latest guest on the Shiny New Object podcast, free expression and the opportunity to be a creator in many different media have led to a new phenomenon of personal marketing. How does this differ from the old personal branding and what can marketers learn from it? Is it an individual opportunity only or can brands jump in and - at the very least - learn something from the growing popularity of Substack? Hear how Stephanie has built her Substack presence, what she's learnt along the way, and her top marketing tips in this latest episode.
This week we hear from Substack UK's Head of Writer Partnerships Farrah Storr. Over the past decade she's worked in leading editorial roles at some of the biggest lifestyle magazines in the UK before leaving ELLE to join the newsletter platform. She tells us about why more mainstream media brands should be investing in Substack, why she doesn't believe you need a huge profile to start out on the platform, and what problems with the wider internet ecosystem Substack is trying to solve. In the news round-up, the team dissect some unfortunately-timed stories about Reach plc, and why the national and regional publisher's woes are only likely to increase as the ad-stuffing strategy plays out. In the news in brief section, we explore increasingly troublesome links between the Conservative government and senior BBC executives, BuzzFeed's edict to staff to increase story output, and Meta's subtle de-emphasis of its metaverse project. Thus endeth the season. We'll be back in May for the next one!
We're back with our occasional “Partner Chats”. Robin Merttens and Matthew Grant reflect on what is going on in the world of innovation and insurance.

Peta Kilian, UK Head of Strategy and Partnerships, joined us ready with a list of questions from her colleagues across QBE. Talking points include: Does insurance need underwriters? What is algorithmic underwriting and does it really work? Sharing data between insurers and their partners - is there anything to celebrate in 2022? Energy transition and the move to reduce carbon emissions - what's coming next? Cyber insurance - is now the time to get involved? And a lot more Thanks to QBE for inviting us and allowing us to record this session. For a quick look at what this looked like on the day take a look at our video here.

Lucie is Czech and her partner is from the UK and she is now based back in Prague where she teaches Hypnobirthing. This pregnancy was a surprise and Lucie shares with us how it was really hard to wrap her head around having another baby while her first daughter was still quite small. Freya and Harry are 2 years apart, almost to the day. She suffered with all-day-morning-sickness for the first 4.5 months of the pregnancy and after that settled she had a smoother time. Harry's birth started with the water's breaking and then Lucie went in to a long and slow labour. After 24h she ended up having an induction and 4 hours later Harry was born. We discuss choice, knowing your options and how incredibly important it is to educate yourself before going through birth so that you know what everything means in the heat of the moment.If you'd like to reach out to Lucie, or if you are interested in Hypnobirthing, she teaches courses in person and online, and you can contact her on lucie@hypnobirthingbuddy.com or visit www.hypnobirthingbuddy.com for more information.Visit The 9MonthsPodcast.com for more information or if you'd like to share your story with me on the podcast, you can find all the details there.Follow me on Instagram @9monthspodcast*The stories on this podcast are personal experiences and should never be interpreted as medical advice.
