What Happened to A Turner & Sons Sausage Ltd After Dragons’ Den?

A Turner & Sons Sausage Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 8. The business was a sausage manufacturing company. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Paul Turner walked into the Den in 2012 with a sausage manufacturing company. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 33% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Peter Jones offered £80,000 for 33%⅓, and Paul Turner accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

A Turner & Sons Sausage Ltd is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2012, 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 Turner & Sons Sausage Ltd Still in Business?

Yes. A Turner & Sons Sausage Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
