What Happened to Pro-Tec Covers After Dragons’ Den?

Pro-Tec Covers appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 9. The business was a caravan and motor home fabric covers. They secured investment from Hilary Devey and Duncan Bannatyne on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Anne and Keith Proctor walked into the Den in 2012 with a caravan and motor home fabric covers. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 26% 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. Hilary Devey and Duncan Bannatyne offered £75,000 for 26%, and Anne and Keith Proctor 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

Pro-Tec Covers is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2012, 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 Pro-Tec Covers Still in Business?

Yes. Pro-Tec Covers appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
