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.

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 Colin and Eona Gilchris left the Den without backing.
