Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Opus After Dragons’ Den?
Opus appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 13 Episode 14. The business was a trailer tents. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Jonathan Harris and Jonathan Schofield walked into the Den in 2016 with a trailer tents. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 25% 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. Deborah Meaden offered £80,000 for 25%, and Jonathan Harris and Jonathan Schofield 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
Opus is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, 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 Opus Still in Business?
Yes. Opus appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
