Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Handygirl After Dragons’ Den?
Handygirl appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 7. The business was a female run diy service. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Hafida Sarachi walked into the Den in 2007 with a female run diy service. They were asking for £84,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Hafida Sarachi left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Handygirl is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2007, 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 Handygirl Still in Business?
Yes. Handygirl appears to still be trading.
