What Happened to Stable Table After Dragons’ Den?
Stable Table appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 1 Episode 2. The business was a device designed to stabilise unbalanced tables. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Andrew Gordon walked into the Den in 2005 with a device designed to stabilise unbalanced tables. They were asking for £87,000 in exchange for 33% of the business.
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 Andrew Gordon left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Stable Table is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2005, 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 Stable Table Still in Business?
Yes. Stable Table appears to still be trading.
