What Happened to A & R Plumbing Supplies After Dragons’ Den?

A & R Plumbing Supplies appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2013, Series 11 Episode 6. The business was a mini-sized shower pump. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Alan Wright walked into the Den in 2013 with a mini-sized shower pump. They were asking for £20,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Alan Wright left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

A & R Plumbing Supplies is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2013, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is A & R Plumbing Supplies Still in Business?

Yes. A & R Plumbing Supplies appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
