Tech firm in driverless car pilot; Learn Create Sell; indie bakery success

Three guests today. Sam Chapman is chief innovation officer at growing Sheffield tech firm The Floow, part of a three year pilot project to test driverless cars on UK roads.

Next Angga Kara and Zak Ahmed of Learn Create Sell, a creative social enterprise supporting people to learn new skills. Students on the 10-week Learn Create Sell programme learn how to design and create products on a laser cutter and get the opportunity to sell them via a shop in Sheffield’s Winter Gardens.

Angga has also developed the ethical fashion label Hantu, formed hip-hop theatre group Rationale Productions and helped set up Yorkshire Tee; Zak runs AALFY, a company devoted to developing human potential.

And finally an interview with Laura Bullock of Seven Hills Bakery, a thriving independent business which is going from strength to strength; Laura talked through how the business was launched and has developed; the challenges it has overcome; and the importance of collaboration with other local independents.
