JOHN'S, N.L. — Steven Priestley ditched his winter coat Feb. 1 and flew away from St. John’s and the polar vortex that promises to chill Newfoundland and Labrador to the bone this weekend.But he’s not sipping Mai Tais on a beach.
From company incorporation with just one drone and, as Priestley recalls, “fighting for every little contract we could get” they now have a workforce of 25, and significant contracts under their belt for everything from mineral hunting, bathymetric mapping and ground penetrating radar missions.The company now has a fleet of drones worth millions.They did that because they needed it themselves, Priestley explained.
Currently they have had a number of meetings and proposals out to prospective clients in that region. — the world’s largest conference on green energy and sustainability — is being held in that city in November.
