What Happened to Inflatable Flood Barriers After Dragons’ Den?

Inflatable Flood Barriers appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 2. The business was a inflatable flood defence system. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Andrew Lang and Dominic Green walked into the Den in 2010 with a inflatable flood defence system. They were asking for £75,000.

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 Andrew Lang and Dominic Green left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Inflatable Flood Barriers 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 Inflatable Flood Barriers Still in Business?

Yes. Inflatable Flood Barriers appears to still be trading.
