What Happened to Bee Bee Wraps After Dragons’ Den?

Bee Bee Wraps appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2019, Series 17 Episode 5. The business was a eco-friendly food wraps made from organic cotton and bee wax. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2024.

The Pitch

Katherine Austin walked into the Den in 2019 with a eco-friendly food wraps made from organic cotton and bee wax. They were asking for £60,000 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 Katherine Austin left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Bee Bee Wraps did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2024, some 5 years after the pitch.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Bee Bee Wraps Still Available?

No. Beebee & Leaf Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
