- There was an awkward start to the Q+A procedure as Jenkins revealed he had met Hayes “over a bottle of wine” and “needed to abstain from investing”. But the remaining dragons appeared to show interest in the offering. This was due to the ex-boarding school mums outlining a turnover of £65,000 for the first six months. They plan to hit £150,000 by September of this year with 650 students already using the service.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Even Jenny would be impressed with Nick's "I'm Out" tactic.
I wonder if she’s ever tried it
@@georgehand I dont know but i bet she will use it :)
Clearly Nick gave her a seed investment then ironically had to pull out
Hilarious comment. Haha.
Haahahaha amazing comment👏
bravo!
brilliant lmao
lmfao dead🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
…Well that’s the quietest Nicks been for 10 minutes 😂 😂😂
He’s not just experiencing the walk of shame but the seat of shame too.
If I was at boarding school and my parents were wealthy I'd want a really nice trunk to show off instead of a red plastic shipping box. I can definitely imagine the students' trunks are a bit of a fashion statement, especially considering they're usually in school uniform at most boarding schools.
Exactly. Their image was hardly one of class. T-shirts and red plastic whilst trying to appeal to boarding schools.
Just slap ‘supreme’ sticker and off you go!
Apparently that wasn’t the first time nick had to pull out
Touker was bang on! Any boarding school student would carry a trunk from home anyway, so selling them at the school doesn't make sense.
They said they get 280 customers on average at each school though
Are we sure that the skirt given to Peter wasn't intended for Doug Richard?
😂
Sarah is lovely with the sweetest smile. She always politely explains herself before she declares herself out.
He's not on this episode, but James Caan is a real class act, too.
OK calm down creeper
I love how Sarah smiles, breathes, talks. I feel nervous when I see her here. I just wish as I watch her through her window she would just acknowledge me..........
I like Sarahs demeanor too
I think she's gorgeous, personally. Although whoever did her hair on most of her appearances in this show, needs to find another job. It's terrible. I've googled her and there are some really nice pictures of her.
Where are they now?
Company is still around with over 300k in assets. Loss for 2020 was around 90k but they have over 200k in share capital. Social media and website are active.
Thanks Ron
Thanks ron always a help
Thank you Ron, I always look out for your posts. They the best👌
Thanks Ron
Cheers Ron
Nick must have given her a different type of investment prior to this episode
He gave her a deposit and then pulled out
Loooooool 😂🤣
@@olnium oof my dude xd
some really good deposit
The brunette south african bird is doing a questionnaire with her partner, she says the first part of the answer and then coaxes her to fill in the blanks hahaha
I was really hoping Peter was gonna start up the banter & press Nicks buttons to try & get more information from him about his business talk & red wine date with the entrepreneur.
As soon as Nick said he had spoke to them yet had not made an investment it was over, that was a red flag for the rest of the dragons
I disagree. There’s very few occasions where a dragon has cited someone else’s decision to bow out when justifying their own choice not to invest.
Absolutely a solution without a problem.
Spot on
Why did they say they get 280 customers from each school then
I would've loved to hear the off camera conversation when they were gone 😂. So what do you know about that business. A bottle of wine and 😇
I was pretty stoned when I watched this, so what the hell were they selling again? Travel boxes?
Peter face expression at Necks is gold 😂
Even Harry Potter had a trunk....bigger than the 'under stairs' accommodation he used to have.
Nick could only have looked more embarrassed if she had walked into the den pregnant to let him know that he's gonna be a daddy..
🫄🏻Seeking 90k/month til the baby turns 21!! Let the negotiations begin... 😮🎉
A bottle of wine, eh? 🤔 Sounds like a "swiped right for a one night stand" situation.
yeah, the smiles and blushes from both sides tell a lot
I don’t see any profit in this uniform I swear there so many ppl go in the den without thinking twice of their products
Touker made the best point. How many people are really sending their children off to boarding school with their clothes in plastic trash bags? Not many.
In 2019/20 there were over 500,000 overseas studentsin the UK. Thats the market Id imagine. They dont arrive with plastic bags ... but after a year studying, the 30kg luggage has turned into 45kg of possessions with another 10kg of books. I could see this working tbh
@@nickpellatt totally agree, I went to boarding school with tons of overseas students , Bin bags and pillow cases were the most commonly used storage items for leaving books/uniform at the school over break. Some of these kids had parents driving Ferraris and fancy houses but most parents were just making ends meet to send them to the school.
Never went to boarding shool but we just hung up our school uniforms in the wardrobe 😅
Nick that was cringey dude! Guess the bottle of wine didnt go down well. We need more camera shots of Nick!
A great solution to a really big problem.
These dragons are so out of touch
Posh Boy who has never boarded and doesn't know that trunks answered that problem many decades ago.
@Travel Crawl how else can they keep the thieving riffraff putt😝
Dragons may be rich but they have no class or breeding
There are many companies that do exactly the same thing and have done for decades.
Pitch starts at 1:00
I dont get it. What was the use of these boxes? What is wrong with a traveling suitcase and a few travelling bags?
I'm going to pitch my silver spoon holder on Dragons' Den.
Oh jolly hockey sticks . We don't need the money but one must Do something when Tristram's boarding.
Look like Robert Shaw and Roy Scheider in drag.
genius!!!!!!
But how in the world do they get to 900K value on a 25K NPM?
10 years on and the business is still going strong
Dorothy was definitely born Donald
Tuka will try and get in one of the trunks
They might make a bit of living out of it but not a serious investment. Good decision by the dragons.
Roedean School is an excellent place. I wish these ladies well.
Propaganda
Wow a nice comment from you finally
Wow that’s a Den first, Nick out in quick succession.
Succession? He was the first to be out.
Because he was in quick ironically
So Nick and Chelsea had "a discussion about the business" 😉 over a bottle of wine before the episode, huh? 😮🎉
when you order brie larson from wish
UK has some wierd schooling system
Y wearing red golf shirts with no company logo??
Peter’s face had me laughing😂
the way to do it is to expand to do storage for university private halls. thousands more overseas students, all also rich, and the halls all want to use their rooms as holiday lets just as much. i mean obviously specialist storage services already exist - I see little vans picking up students' stuff and dropping it off every term - but the 'we'll steam clean your stuff for you' angle might attract some
also this is my favourite Deborah hairstyle
You can already get your stuff steam cleaned. Though I can't say the rich students I knew ever really had much interest in that, nor do they need holiday storage as you don't typically rent for term-time only, it will be the whole year.
Touker was wrong based on the simple fact that they had customers and revenue. If he was right, they wouldn't have any sales.
possibility of divorce has entered the chat. lol cant believe he declined that 😅
Can tell who wears the trousers in that partnership
If In doubt, Jenkins pulls out.
Dirty Nick
Lady on the right went full German @0:10 😂
Supposed to be solving problems with idea not creating them
They should do one for Jenny as she's constantly out
Maybe I went to the one boarding school that doesn’t use trunks but the bin bags and pillow cases / duvet sheets is accurate lol , it was almost cheaper to buy new school books than to fly them home and back every summer lol
This is for storing the school stuff / uniform etc at the school over breaks , not bringing it home
Yeah, I think the point is to make it easier for the school, not the kids.
i still dont get the point of this?
South African accent coming through strong
the blonde should be Brie Larson's elder sis or mother in some movie.
3:33 Nick Jenkins met her on Tinder.
Not Nick having to pull out, AGAIN.
so what is the business again? they provide the boxes, to rich kids going to private school? Not even sure what value the "uniform service" offers, vast majority of those schools, will be tough on the uniform standards. Plus kids grow, no matter how expensive the uniform, it has a natural shelf life.
They store the stuff over the holidays so they don't have to fly home with it, which is expensive and cumbersome.
@@littleboots9800 so a serviced storage contract. The question still remains, how much is worth psying to keep once you remember kids grow, and fashion changes.
@@ianlister7333 that's basically it. Storage with a few extras like cleaning and name taping which is pointless because you would've already name taped the stuff when you bought it. I can only really see sports equipment and books being things that you'd need the next year or term? I guess £150 is nothing to rich ppl for a little convenience. Doesn't sound like a hugely pressing problem to me tbh.
@@littleboots9800 there is an element of "im not thinking like a rich person", but honestly I would have thought, that might just lead to clothes being thrown / given away at the end of term, and you arrive next term with a whole new set of clothing.
don't fix something that isn't broke
Chelsea looks somewhat like the Khalisi of the Game of Throne.. 😎😎😀😎😀😎😎😀
We all had a trunk - usually twice as big as those crates, and we also had a big suitcase. The trunk was intended to hold all of our belongings that were used in the whole year, and the suitcase was for packing up what we needed for the immediate holiday home. Most kids families lived in the tropics and didn't need the majority of their belongings to go with them so the trunk would be stored somewhere by the school till the next term. The trunk would stay at the school until you left so anything from six years to twelve years. One trunk, and a tuckbox to be left at the school was all that was allowed so accumulating too much stuff wasn't really an option. So I can't see that this company would have had a role to play in my day when the problem of storage was not a problem.
things have changed since your day
@@global-reset I don't think so, on the whole. They are just competing with a market which already does all of this, and does it well. Nobody in their right mind is going to travel with a trunk three times a year. They're designed to act as a transportable storage facility.
Tbh seems like a terrible idea, why would a school dip into their budget for this when students would bring some form of storage anyways? Not like the promise of a trunk is the difference between picking which school your kid goes to
Good point
Touker hardly makes any investment... He is there as a dragon just for free samples that entrepreneurs bring along when they come to pitch their business ... N also when he did make some offers, he hardly gets it. Unless the pitch is related to clothing business, he brings nothing on the table and not worth such greedy percentages he asks for....
I disagree. Touker nearly always makes an offer of investment. His percentages are high I agree, but he’s always up against it when Deborah and Peter make an offer. He has offered investment on many non clothing products! Sarah and Jenny on the other hand are time wasters. Sarah always followed the crowed and Jenny was always out. Even Duncan hardly ever invested! As much I loved his humour
The more I watch the more I need to comment
Maybe don't send your children to boarding school.
The target market for this service is as small as the target market for Jenny in Dragon’s Den
Target market isn’t small
The woman on the left looks and sounds a little slippery...or should I say 'Overly anxious to impress.'
These 2 are quite irritating
I think Touker was right, in that they will make some money, but they won't make millions. It's a lifestyle business.
true there is many ways to use storage
Rich people problems
So all those kids on bursaries and supported by charities
All Sarah does is do what the other dragons are doing. When the other dragons start to drop out you can almost bet your last dollar that she will too.
Finally someone has said it! Thank you!
She’s too predictable and boring, doesn’t have her own mind and make her own decisions, but ALWAYS follows the rest.
The other dragons are probably dropping out for a reason... It makes a nice change from the utterly tedious "Jenny is out" rubbish incessantly posted on here, but I'm not sure it's any less inaccurate!
you clearly havent seen to many episodes with her in them, absolute nonsense
@@vader745 I’ve seen all of them
Brie Larson's mom
Is that his ex or something
absolute disaster.
You could go to australia or the us or canada..lots of boarding schools
So do they sell plastic trunks that students can put items in while on holiday, which are securely stored for the students and returned the next semester? Basically giving the students an option to travel with only a small suitcase during the holiday, rather than needing to haul all of their stuff with them?
Business is unclear 🤷♂️ For that reason, Jenny would be right to be out.
Wtf does this business even do? Sell plastic trunks?
it sell's plastic trunks?
Holy crap the dark haired one actually looks like a man
Prob played rugby big ol lass
they def asked him for details after the moms left
It was an exquisite dinner over a glass of wine, nothing else
@@dadestor Mauri never implied anything else.
I wouldn't call it a box. It's a storage solution system.
This could be made so much bigger if they just think.. well.. outside the box..
Instead of everyone buying a trunk to ship the stuff to the school. Why not have this as a service at the school, and if the parents go for it, ship it to the parents before school starts so the students can use this as their travel-trunk as well as their vacation storage.. I notice they can be "flatpacked" already, so shipping wouldn't be too bad (and I'm sure this service isn't cheap).
Also, having the clothes inside being cleaned and pressed during vacations is great (I understood it so far that this was one of the service levels they have).
Also for school trips when students have to stay the night at something.
@Travel Crawl It wouldn't be a competition at all! We'd blow them straight out of the water!
Why does Sarah wears only white dress 😂😅
Surely that Dorothy is a bloke...!
Time for lunch again, thanks guys.need this.
Sorry guys, F1 more important now. Gogogo Max!
hahahaha aaaaaa
lol glad hamilton lost
Nick Jenkins "I've already seen this company once before and I wasnt interested, so I'm out"
He was interested, but a bit too much...
I think the problem was he was "in" before!
doomed to failure
Today I have mostly been eating fromage
Do you drink tea with your pinky extended?
...which was nice. Hot & spicy prawns in breadcrumbs for me.
Memorizing the numbers just isn't a good approach in evaluating someone's business acumen. Critical and strategic thinking aren't dependent on memorizing datasets without the usage of basic technology. A primary function of technology is to alleviate humans from such burdens, freeing them up for higher cognitive challenges. I understand that producers force memorization for added drama but it takes credibility away from everyone involved in the production of the show.
you don't think knowing the simple numbers that determine the value of the business are important enough to know when presenting that business to potential investors? what kind of tech does that require? it's so very basic and they know it's going to be asked..
Lol
Theo: my children's inheritance
Deborah: let me see your patent and is your product recyclable?
Touker: I don't get out of bed for 1% and I have office's in London
Jenny: Im out
Tej: I can get you into Boots
Peter: the business is new and your valuation is ridiculous and for that I want 40% of the business.
Sarah: Im a northern lass
🎯
That has to be a man.
Adam's apple?
Lekker South African twang there
I never picked up on it until I read the comments haha
South African in the Den!!! Lets go!!
As in "Let's leave?"
There I was thinking they’re Australian 🤣🤣🤣
Is the long haired one a bloke?
prolly not, the voice is too perfect
and i cant see an apple
so prolly just strong features thats all
tho it is distracting thats for sure
unusually high testosterone in a woman, unfortunate
@@treehouse7861 Not sure why that's unfortunate. I bet you're a proper scrawny little lad 😉
@@oxymoron02strange why you would think polycystic ovary syndrome is fortunate. you a woman hater?
Do you even need to ask?
8:35 Patronising your fellow business partner in front of an investment opportunity, makes you so uninvestable
She was helping her partner. She could have just stolen her lines, but she was helping her remember what she was forgetting.
“She”
@@marks6663 Still shouldn't have done that. It came off as weird. If she was picking up her slack then she should have just continued.
I think perhaps she was getting the context back on their planned track after Peter asked for a different breakdown but she herself wasn't responsible for memorising the figures so she prompted her partner to fill in the blanks.
@@AlphaCentauri24 agreed. She looked like a parent or teacher prompting their child to sing a nursery rhyme in front of friends. It looked quite condescending.

My favourite part is that another comment contradicts yours, but neither of you ha e actually provided a source to back up your claims 🤷🏻♂️
@@oxymoron02 I've read both and they don't contradict each other. The above comment relates to the state of the business when they were in the den, the other comment relates to the current state of the business.
