Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to UK Commercial Cleaning After Dragons’ Den?
UK Commercial Cleaning appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 4. The business was a commercial cleaning company. They secured investment from Duncan Bannatyne on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Tony Earnshaw & Stephen Pearsons walked into the Den in 2009 with a commercial cleaning company. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 35% 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. Duncan Bannatyne offered £100,000 for 35%, and Tony Earnshaw & Stephen Pearsons 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
UK Commercial Cleaning is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2009, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is UK Commercial Cleaning Still Available?
Yes. Uk Commercial Group Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
