A new group of companies focused on the fast growing drone industry was launched on September 27. The Drone Major Group Limited brings together a number of complementary businesses which provide connectivity for the first time ever to the global drone industry.
Drone Major Group claims to be the first company in the world to provide a unique and integrated suite of products and services to the global drone industry, which is growing by leaps and bounds.
Central to the business will be the launch of a new portal – Drone Major. So far, there has been no single resource available to help navigate and procure an extensive range of drones and drone related services.
The group claims that Drone Major will be the world’s first online portal to facilitate the sale of drones and drone-related equipment and services throughout the world.
A membership scheme will deliver added-value benefits and ‘one-stop’ services, including ‘Drone Major experts,’ who can provide information and guidance to navigate the myriad of choices available to the market.
The platform’s members include some of the world’s largest drone operators.
Another integral company within the group will be SUAS Global (Surface, Underwater, Air, Space), currently the world’s leading online network for the drone industry with over 40,000 global subscribers.
Drone Major Group was has been founded by ex-army entrepreneur Robert Garbett. It has at its operational core Software Major, a software development company, and Cyber Major, a fast growth risk assessment and resolution consultancy.
Drone use is already well established and growing across a vast array of applications, ranging from emergency services, including search and rescue, and tackling fires through to new innovations in agriculture, construction, humanitarian aid, wildlife preservation and personal security, generating predictions that drones will spawn a $100 billion industry by 2020.
Robert Garbett, Founder and Chief Executive, Drone Major Group Limited, says, “The advance of the drone industry towards full connectivity is inevitable. How long this will take will depend on the will of the industry and its ability to develop robust standards; the willingness of regulators to enable new applications; the advancement of technology to tackle the challenges ahead; and the ability of the innovators to understand what technology is available to enable their vision of the future.”
