Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Postsaver After Dragons’ Den?
Postsaver appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 3. The business was a protection for fence posts. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden, Duncan Bannatyne, Theo Paphitis and Hilary Devey on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Jim and Richard George walked into the Den in 2011 with a protection for fence posts. They were asking for £160,000 in exchange for 35% 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, Duncan Bannatyne, Theo Paphitis and Hilary Devey offered £160,000 for 35% / 30, and Jim and Richard George 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
Postsaver is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2011, 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 Postsaver Still in Business?
Yes. Postsaver appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
