What Happened to Ladder Limb After Dragons’ Den?

Ladder Limb appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2013, Series 11 Episode 5. The business was a hanging tool for ladders. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Alistair Taylor walked into the Den in 2013 with a hanging tool for ladders. They were asking for £110,000 in exchange for 10% 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 Alistair Taylor left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Ladder Limb is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2013, 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 Ladder Limb Still in Business?

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