Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Drone and Safe Register After Dragons’ Den?
Drone and Safe Register appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2018, Series 16 Episode 5. The business was a drone camera hire. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Mark Boyt walked into the Den in 2018 with a drone camera hire. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 40% 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 £60,000 for 40%, and Mark Boyt 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
Drone and Safe Register is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2018, 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 Drone and Safe Register Still in Business?
Yes. Drone and Safe Register appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
