Manna Drone Delivery Expansion Plans
Manna, an Irish drone delivery company founded in 2019, is making significant strides in the technology sector. The company’s founder and CEO, Bobby Healy, recently joined host Ciarán Hancock on the Inside Business Podcast to discuss Manna’s ambitious expansion plans.
Currently operating nine drones in Dublin 15, Manna has completed over 170,000 deliveries in Ireland. The company is also operating eight drones outside of Ireland. Healy revealed plans to expand into the United States and Nordic countries, with a potential need for 45,000 drones to serve the UK market alone.
Manna intends to manufacture these drones in Ireland, creating a significant opportunity for the country’s technology sector. However, the company is cash-hungry and plans to raise millions of dollars from investors.
Healy, who has previously sold three travel tech companies, addressed concerns about drone deliveries in residential areas. His vision for Manna is to become Ireland’s biggest corporate success story and a major player in the global technology industry.
As Manna continues to grow, it faces both opportunities and challenges. The company’s success will depend on its ability to navigate regulatory environments, address public concerns, and deliver on its ambitious expansion plans.
