Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Jason Gledhill walked into the Den in 2023 with a micro-campervans and accessories. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 15% 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 (Sara Davies holds 10% whilst her father will hold 5%.) offered £100,000 for 15% (10% if investment is returned in 18 months.), and Jason Gledhill 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

Redcote Leisure Ltd is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 3 years since the pitch.

Is Redcote Leisure Ltd Still in Business?

Yes. Redcote Leisure Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
