Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to F8 Clothing After Dragons’ Den?
F8 Clothing appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 1. The business was a fleece clothing accessories. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2013.
The Pitch
Kendra Torgan walked into the Den in 2005 with a fleece clothing accessories. They were asking for £145,000.
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 Kendra Torgan left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
F8 Clothing did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2013, some 8 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 F8 Clothing Still Available?
No. Torgan Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
