What Happened to Pipe Easy After Dragons’ Den?
Pipe Easy appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2019, Series 17 Episode 5. The business was a pipe fitting tool. They secured investment from Sara Davies on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Teirnan Mccorkell walked into the Den in 2019 with a pipe fitting tool. They were asking for £41,000 in exchange for 30% 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. Sara Davies offered £41,000 for 30%, and Teirnan Mccorkell 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
Pipe Easy is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The business has now been trading for around 8 years since the pitch.
Is Pipe Easy Still Available?
Yes. Solutions Made Easy Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
