We have all seen the BBC TV programme
Dragons' Den. But what is it really like to appear on the hit TV programme? And
what does it take to actually win investment from the Dragons?
Most people who appear on the BBC TV
programme are knocked back by the words "I'm Out". But one of the
very few people to succeed in the Dragons' Den is Ian Taylor who won investment
from celebrity entrepreneur James Caan. How did he manage to win where so many
others have failed? What secrets did he learn from the experience? What
happened next? And what happens to successful entrepreneurs four years after
they have appeared in the Dragons' Den?
On 8th June all these questions were
answered, when Ian gave a fascinating talk about his experiences of being one
of the very few people to win investment on BBC's Dragons' Den.
In addition to the fascinating talk by
Ian, on the night we also raised over £150 for the Macmillan Support
Centre in Huddersfield and Halifax.
