Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Impact Items Ltd After Dragons’ Den?
Impact Items Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 2. The business was a glazed putty with multi-purpose use. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2011.
The Pitch
Jeremy Whitticase walked into the Den in 2008 with a glazed putty with multi-purpose use. They were asking for £75,000 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 Jeremy Whitticase left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Impact Items Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2011, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Impact Items Ltd Still in Business?
No. Impact Items Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
