Former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and top American Executive Asahi Pompey visited the business to see the impact AI was making.
Sunak said: “I think there’s a fantastic opportunity for small businesses to use AI to turbo charge their businesses and if they do that that’s going to be great for them and great for our economy.”
Pompey, who is global head of the Goldman Sachs Office of Corporate Engagement, said she’s very keen on getting SMEs to use AI but accepts some may be sceptical.
“It is going to be critical to figure out how to integrate this technology into your business. How to use it to scale, how to use it to be able to analyse your data and I would think you should start with where do you see processes that are particularly manual – because that’s one of the starting points where AI can be very helpful in automating some of those processes.”
At Mobile People Powered Logistics the aim is to use AI increase productivity and to expand the company.
Marriott said even if Artificial Intelligence won’t work for some firms at the moment, that will change.
“So for us it’s been fantastic but for other sectors it might not work and it might be that you have to wait two, three or four more years for it to develop even more for it to impact other sectors,” he added.
