What Happened to Timberkits Ltd After Dragons’ Den?

Timberkits Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 13 Episode 4. The business was a wooden mechanical kits. They secured investment from Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Sarah Reast and Phil Wilson walked into the Den in 2015 with a wooden mechanical kits. They were asking for £25,000 (received 40,000) in exchange for 30% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Touker Suleyman offered £25,000 (received 40,000) for 30%, and Sarah Reast and Phil Wilson accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Timberkits Ltd is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2015, 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 Timberkits Ltd Still in Business?

Yes. Timberkits Ltd appears to still be trading.
