What Happened to OllyPops After Dragons’ Den?
OllyPops appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 1. The business was a towel designed to train basics of surfing. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Olly Dallish walked into the Den in 2007 with a towel designed to train basics of surfing. They were asking for £50,000.
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 Olly Dallish left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
OllyPops is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2007, 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 OllyPops Still Available?
Yes. Cornwall Fencing Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
