What Happened to Superspout After Dragons’ Den?

Superspout appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 8. The business was a fuel can nozzle with automatic stop. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

David Holdsworth walked into the Den in 2008 with a fuel can nozzle with automatic stop. They were asking for £80,000.

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 Holdsworth left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Superspout is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2008, 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 Superspout Still in Business?

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