What Happened to Nana's Manners After Dragons’ Den?

Nana's Manners appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 15 Episode 6. The business was a children's cutlery. They secured investment from Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Catherine and Chris Baldrey-Chourio walked into the Den in 2017 with a children's cutlery. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 20% 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. Touker Suleyman offered £50,000 for 20%, and Catherine and Chris Baldrey-Chourio 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

Nana's Manners is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2017, 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 Nana's Manners Still in Business?

Yes. Nana's Manners appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
