What Happened to The Articulate Gallery After Dragons’ Den?

The Articulate Gallery appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 4. The business was a 3d photo frames for children's artwork. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Colin and Eona Gilchris walked into the Den in 2008 with a 3d photo frames for children's artwork. They were asking for £40,000.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Colin and Eona Gilchris left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show
