What Happened to FGH Security After Dragons’ Den?

FGH Security appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 3. The business was a security company that provides staffed security, electronic security (alarms) and cctv. They secured investment from Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Peter Harrison and Wesley Downham walked into the Den in 2010 with a security company that provides staffed security, electronic security (alarms) and cctv. They were asking for £75,000 (but received 100,000) in exchange for 20% 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 and Theo Paphitis offered £75,000 (but received 100,000) for 20%, and Peter Harrison and Wesley Downham 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

FGH Security is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2010, 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 FGH Security Still in Business?

Yes. FGH Security appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
