What Happened to UKGC After Dragons’ Den?

UKGC appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 3. The business was a all you can drink private members club. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2011.

The Pitch

Daniel Thompson walked into the Den in 2011 with a all you can drink private members club. They were asking for N/A in exchange for 45% of the business.

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 Daniel Thompson left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

UKGC did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2011 — just a year after appearing on the show.

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 UKGC Still Available?

No. Ukgc Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
