What Happened to Magloc UK After Dragons’ Den?

Magloc UK appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 13 Episode 9. The business was a magnetic dog and equine lead connector. They secured investment from Nick Jenkins on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Steve Shickell and Tony Garlick walked into the Den in 2015 with a magnetic dog and equine lead connector. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 40% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Nick Jenkins offered £100,000 for 40%, and Steve Shickell and Tony Garlick accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Magloc UK is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2015, 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 Magloc UK Still in Business?

Yes. Magloc UK appears to still be trading.
