Small Business Show 52 Part 1: High Viz, Bio-Tech & CCTV [ 15:40 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week on the Small Business Show Kehlan and Brian are joined by special guest Rob Quigley from Motion Fox High Viz Wear.

MotionFox was started as a direct response to one of the daily problems encountered by one of its founders Rob Quigley. Rob was cycling to work and wanted to find some decent looking hi-viz gear that didn’t make him look like a builder. Assuming the internet could help, Rob searched and searched but didn’t find anything that was quite right. He mentioned this to Steve Benton, and they decided to make for themselves what they couldn’t find to buy elsewhere. Hence MotionFox was born!

Topics discussed this week are:

- Enterprise Ireland Sets Up Female Entrepreneurship Fund

- TCD Set To Introduce Student Financing

- IPSO Warns Of Credit Card Processing Scam In Ireland

 - Volvo Ocean Race Nets Galway €100m & 900,000 Visitors

The Small Business Show is broadcast each weekend in syndication on Irish radio.  Items from the show are published as podcasts throughout the week on FocuSMEIreland.com.  You can subscribe for free to download the MP3s automatically using RSS or iTunes.

This segment of the Small Business Show was broadcast on Saturday 14th of July.
