What Happened to DIY art systems After Dragons’ Den?

DIY art systems appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 4. The business was a professional help service for home decorations. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Mike Edwards walked into the Den in 2006 with a professional help service for home decorations. They were asking for N/A.

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 Mike Edwards left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

DIY art systems is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2006, the business has now been trading for over two decades — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is DIY art systems Still Available?

Yes. D.i.y. Doctor Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
