What Happened to Panache After Dragons’ Den?
Panache appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2020, Series 17 Episode 10. The business was a flavoured gin range. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Lee Gaskell walked into the Den in 2020 with a flavoured gin range. They were asking for N/A.
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 Lee Gaskell left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Panache is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2020, 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 Panache Still in Business?
Yes. Panache appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
