Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Parcel Office After Dragons’ Den?
The Parcel Office appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 8. The business was a excess luggage and parcel delivery. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2015.
The Pitch
Stanley Wallace walked into the Den in 2010 with a excess luggage and parcel delivery. They were asking for £250,000.
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 Stanley Wallace left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Parcel Office did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2015, some 5 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is The Parcel Office Still in Business?
No. The Parcel Office is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2015).
