The self-taught coder building a drone empire
We meet Bobby Healy whose company Manna Air Delivery is among the largest drone delivery operations in Europe - and has global ambitions.
We hear from a founder who taught himself how to code as a child, set up several businesses, and now with his drone delivery firm Manna Air Delivery - one of the largest in Europe - is trying to challenge aviation regulations around the world.
Serial entrepreneur Bobby Healy talks about how being from a poor background helped him build a leading company, which is now becoming a major global player, and why, even as a busy CEO, he still loves writing computer code into the early hours.
