Could you be the next to secure investment from a Dragon?

Do you watch Dragon’s Den and wonder if you could hold your own and secure investment?

In partnership with North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, we are delighted to bring you a unique opportunity to meet, and hear from, three award-winning entrepreneurs, and stars of the hit BBC series, Dragons Den.

Our speakers, all of whom secured investment to make their dreams come true when they pitched their business idea to five multimillionaire investors, are ready to share their stories.

You will hear from:

Denise Gosney – Razzamataz
Back in 2007 Denise Hutton-Gosney took the brave step to enter BBC’s Dragons’ Denise was looking for a £50,000 investment to grow her chain of theatre schools that had a strong emphasis on performance opportunities to help each child with their confidence and self-esteem. For the first time in the Den a Dragon offered all the money without haggling over the equity. See Denise’s pitch here

Derry Green – Secret Garden Glamping
Derry’s lockdown project for his family quickly turned into a lucrative business, earning him national accolades. His pitch was a roaring success in the den, earning him four offers from the dragons!  See Derry’s Pitch, here.
