What Happened to Microbarbox After Dragons’ Den?

Microbarbox appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 6. The business was a alcohol gift box service. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Kate and Graham Durracot walked into the Den in 2021 with a alcohol gift box service. They were asking for £90,000 in exchange for 7.5% 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 Kate and Graham Durracot left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Microbarbox is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2021, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Microbarbox Still Available?

Yes. Micro Bar Box Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
