What Happened to Nae Danger & Glencrest After Dragons’ Den?

Nae Danger & Glencrest appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 12. The business was a sports & energy drink and cash & carry business. They secured investment from Peter Jones and Duncan Bannatyne on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Ross Gourlay walked into the Den in 2015 with a sports & energy drink and cash & carry business. They were asking for £200,000 in exchange for 30% 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. Peter Jones and Duncan Bannatyne offered £200,000 for 30%, and Ross Gourlay 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

Nae Danger & Glencrest is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2015, the business has now been trading for over two decades — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Nae Danger & Glencrest Still Available?

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