What Happened to Radiator Convectors After Dragons’ Den?

Radiator Convectors appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 5. The business was a energy saving device connected to radiators. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2018.

The Pitch

David Hatdon walked into the Den in 2007 with a energy saving device connected to radiators. They were asking for £60,000.

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 David Hatdon left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Radiator Convectors did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, some 11 years after the pitch.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Radiator Convectors Still Available?

No. Radiator Booster Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
