What got you talking yesterday
Over on the Stockhead group chat on Facebook, new member Trudy Jenkins asked the investment community whether they knew of any small caps producing drones for food delivery.
“Not delivery, but DRO makes anti drone defences. I think they got a contact with a couple of airports last I checked. Amazon is doing R+D on delivery drones,” fellow group member Jack Weiler replied.
