What Happened to Oppo Ice Cream After Dragons’ Den?

Oppo Ice Cream appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 13 Episode 15. The business was a ice cream made from virgin coconut oil and stevia leaf. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Harry and Charlie Thuillier walked into the Den in 2016 with a ice cream made from virgin coconut oil and stevia leaf. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 7% 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 Harry and Charlie Thuillier left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Oppo Ice Cream is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2016, 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 Oppo Ice Cream Still Available?

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