Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Mallow & Marsh After Dragons’ Den?
Mallow & Marsh appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2014, Series 12 Episode 4. The business was a gourmet marshmallows. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden / Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Harriot Pleydell-Bouverie walked into the Den in 2014 with a gourmet marshmallows. They were asking for £65,000 / 100,000 in exchange for 33% 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. Deborah Meaden / Peter Jones offered £65,000 / 100,000 for 33% / 40, and Harriot Pleydell-Bouverie 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
Mallow & Marsh is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2014, 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 Mallow & Marsh Still in Business?
Yes. Mallow & Marsh appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
