What Happened to Hedgehog Golf Company After Dragons’ Den?

Hedgehog Golf Company appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 5. The business was a wheel-guard for golf trolleys. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Frank Hauser and Dennis Lantsbury walked into the Den in 2008 with a wheel-guard for golf trolleys. They were asking for £150,000.

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 Frank Hauser and Dennis Lantsbury left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Hedgehog Golf Company is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2008, 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 Hedgehog Golf Company Still in Business?

Yes. Hedgehog Golf Company appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
