- Sharon delivers a confident pitch to The Dragons, demonstrating her invention, Magnamole which allows cables to be safely threaded between cavity walls. The Dragons certainly seem impressed by her figures: in dealing with a major telecoms company she has estimated that by supplying their engineers with the product she will save them £6.5 million per year in downtime alone.
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.

Simply amazing, high class individual, didn’t put a foot wrong, brilliant
Except she chose james caan. Look up how he thoroughly screwed her
@@davidscottblacksmith Now thats so sad to hear
@@davidscottblacksmith racist
What did he do
@@davidscottblacksmith wym what did he do?
Just read an article about how they treated her and she almost lost her business because of them. Really sad hope things are going well for her now.
You know it’s a great pitch when the dragons are the ones going to the wall
Great comment well said. menikmati789
I read a news where she told she never recieved the money from these fools. They actually offered it as a loan rather than buying the company. Disgusting
It was James that did that. His polite gentlemanly manner is just an act.
I’m an electrician. There is so many flaws in the building game and the worst for us is fishing cables. This is great, I like the sound of the next invention
Why is this better than a normal rod with... I don't know what it's called, the wire mesh "finger trap" at the end? (Genuine question, not a spark)
@@awt It's not. They were superceded by cable rods with all the different attachments.
@@markrainford1219 Sparky’s fishing roads are just fine. This is over engineered nonsense
@@simonshotter8960 what for £6? This is sustainable and nothing like a rod. She also said how much time and money it would reduce. And how safe is a metal rod…
@@Up2date7. clearly not a sparky if you think our rods are metal.
Take a seat
Brilliant. She was well prepared, with an excellent, simple and effective design and the letters of agreement and contracts for product sales already in place!! She deserves every bit of success that comes her way. Well done Sharon.
She was absolutely gagging for it. She got the investment and the Caan stitched her up.
Bit late for that comment. This was ten years ago 🤣😂

I've watched so many of these videos, and without a doubt this is the best pitch and individual I've ever seen! Everything was right here! I know things didn't work out with this deal, but I hope she succeeds in anything she does the rest of her life. People like her are beyond rare!
company dissolved in 2015 according to Companies House.
I wouldn't go that far
@@reconforsales7708 Carefully does it..
Gener8 was the best
She has everything mapped out
Simply one of the rarest moments in the den. Telling who your preferred dragon is without ticking Deborah off takes magic. She did well, this is probably my favorite pitch.
After becoming disillusioned by working with the Dragons, Sharon opted to sell 10% of her company for £100,000 to a private investor. She has since gone on to become an author, writing a book entitled Mother of Invention and started a new company; providing podcasts for inspirational speaking that can be used by businesses, schools and universities alike
Thank you for this where is the podcast?
Oh wow yeah - "Within months, she was on the verge of financial collapse - a state of affairs that she blames squarely on the BBC programme - followed by the spectre of a personal breakdown. The expert help she was expecting from her slick new backers never came, she says. Nor did the £80,000 investment she was promised by the Dragons for a stake in the company: instead of giving her the money to buy into the company, they offered it as a loan."
Other interesting bit - she secured deals in US.... but with Sears and Kmart. There is a dailymail article about her.
@@kneel1 James Caan was allegedly a scammer and Duncan was just ignorant because he let Caan handle everything
My gut feeling was she made the wrong choice. She should have gone with Deborah.
@@psoteriou3884 Yeah Deborah's really helped a lot of DIY products get out there on the market
Sharon is absolutely brilliant, I've got the utmost admiration for her
God she is awesome. Her rebuttal to Peter was amazing.
She's already thought deeply about everything.
Far more prepared and buttoned up than anyone who comes on these shows.
The bit at the end when they were all just saying “amazing” and stuff is just the most British thing ever
Other nationalities don't find things amazing?
lol was not thinking that as a brit but now u bring it up, LOL
“Absolutely immaculate”
“Impeccable”
@@jamesd5767 how they said it and we’re going like that mong, of course others can say it
yeah and then falling through on the deal, leaving the inventor in ruins, is even more British..
Sharon is not only a great inventor but clever business woman too
Her entire piece would've been flawless hadn't she revealed her favourite dragons. You know you have a fantastic product and a healthy business they're gonna fight for - Just let them fight.
I agree
I would agree that revealing her choice of Dragons was a very dangerous reveal.
It has in the past destroyed any goodwill and created enemies of all the dragons.
There is one thing she has not learned yet - and that is ' Do not reveal all the cards'
Let the Dragons fight it out among themself -
She has to remember that 'SHE is the prize - that the Dragons should be fighting for.
Law 3: Conceal your Intentions
“Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.”

@@cybersechs1368 this "law" only seems useful if youre about to commit a crime lol
I have never seen anyone on Dragon's Den, shut Peter up so quickly as Sharon. She is brilliant. I lived in Scunthorpe in 1989 and it was a run down, sad case of a town... depressed and lost. She is living PROOF that the people that live there are a million miles from the case.
It's still run down now 33 years later..full of illegals now in the Travelodge they all think it's Knightsbridge!
I organized/played gig once in Scunthorpe with awesome bands... Town and people are from different dimention :P Worst gig ever :D
@@harmfool Was it at the Lincoln IMP lmao
@@connorappleton1945 I dont remembe name of the venue
@@harmfool You don't want to lmao
Don't be fooled by James Caan's demeanor... he made the founder of magnamould have a mental breakdown after agreeing to a deal on Dragons Den, by constantly changing the structure and the deal after the fact. A wolf in sheep's clothing
She is excellent. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was able to declare who her favourite dragons were, and Deborah was not upset and still pitched in.
🇬🇧 Been using this method for 50 yrs using rigid welding rod wire , nothing new here , plus dragons have no clue on diy 😴
@@englishbob5106 Deborah owns alot of building companys now this was along time ago
This is, by far, the best episode of Dragon's Den that I've ever seen 👏
Incredibly impressive, well done that lady. A masterclass.
In afraid she developed a solution for a problem that was never there. Got one from the stores at work when they came out. Flimsy plastic with rubbish magnets. I've used everything from the top of an old fishing rod to wire coat hangers. All out perform this product.
8-17 to 8-22 Duncan's reaction to Sharon's revelation of both himself and James being her preferred investors is absolutely exquisite! His body language is literally dripping with smugness...he snaps his pen like he's already sealed the deal, turns to James and who has already anticipated a souve handshake and his face is like the cat that just got it's cream. It is like a scene from an A grade acr in a Tarantino movie. Superb entertainment and I agree...probably the most outstanding pitch ever on DD. I had to watch it all again...and again. They were all wanting a piece...so much so that even when the other dragons would usually be alienated after a declaration of preferred dragons...the offers still came. WOW!!!
I love how much fun everybody seems to have here X-D
Great atmosphere in this one!
VERY VERY VERY impressive... I'd like to see this person go forward with even more inventions and products.
And they completely screwed her over, wish they told the full story, they are more than happy to share the successful investment stories
Wow, after reading about the aftermath of the deal I've lost all respect for this show. 29£ for 22.5% of her company and the 80,000£ is just a loan to pay back. Yeah I think I'm done with this show.
That's partly why James Caan got kicked off the show.
Oh no. How will DD survive without you
Until the next upload 😂
Close the door on your way out.
That woman is absolutely amazing, best entrepreneur on dragons den hands down
x100.
Do you think she is shaved?
@@Mogamishu Shaved where?
@@silentwitness536 Her back
WOW ! very rare to see a person impress all the Dragons ,well done Mam .
I'm in, for what was asked for! Brilliant Idea, and proven!
Turns out that in the end she received £26,500 as a loan. A few weeks after the show she was invited to drive 200 miles down to see Caan but on the day she arrived was told he was unavailable, and she met with another company. On subsequent meetings, Caan then asked her to use the loaned money to pay his own firm to create the website and she would also have to pay £3 000 / month for services during the course of the investment. Her salary was then dropped from £50 000 to £12 000. I guess thanks for nothing, dragons.
3000 a month for services WTF!? Do you have any sources for this?
@@thunderb00m back in 2010 this blew up in the news and she even wrote a book about it. She had to hire a lawyer to help get her out of a completely extortionate contract. She had a nervous breakdown and was hospitalised. :( it's a very sad story; I havent read the book but the news articles are all out there
@@kupaux I think if she had of gone with Deborah, things might've been very different... Deborah might put up a front of being very uptight and be blunt on camera, but I've followed her a lot in the past, and she will do everything she can to make it work... I think Duncan on the other hand can be quite hard to work with in reality, and isn't open to a lot of ideas, and then you throw in another dragon working with Duncan. and things can get harder.
where did you fiind this information i know after the shows alot of the investments dont go through
@@dawnsparks9207 Googled the invention and it was the first article that came up
Seen this one a million times. I’m certain it’s been uploaded on this channel before.
Most of them have been uploaded multiple times
This one has not, though it was uploaded on the BBC TH-cam channel which also posts dragon's den episodes
Flawless. Well done Sharon.
Very interesting 🧐 great work and well done 👍🏼
Cannot wait for the new season of this and The Apprentice this week.
So excited for The Apprentice starting this week!
This was fantastic, love how the Dragons let the person listen to offers from everyone, adds to the serious power dynamic on show. Love it
She got scammed by them
She was amazingly prepared. The best I have seen
What a lovely confident lady. I want to hug her.
So proud of you Sharon- you deserve all the success that comes your way.
Her daughter has an amazing role model.
Her daughter is motherless so not really. She's just said she work 18 hours a day 7 days a week. Poor kid has no mother. 🤷
@@robertwormald1865 it's always telling when someone says their daughter is mummies biggest fans. A 12 year old should be starting to individuate from their parents and push boundaries while they find their own identity. It's not normal to be mummies biggest fan (and I suspect her biggest emotional support...)
@@robertwormald1865 where's the dad effed off to then? This child is nearly a teen, had all those years with her mom having a normal job and now she's working hard, and the end result will be she employs more staff, earns enough for them both to live comfortably. The child will see hard work pays, rather than sitting around not doing anything.
@@al2954 shut up woman.
Read the Daily Mail article about how she was thoughly screwed by james caan. Disgraceful behaviour.
Loved this! Let's go!
One of the Best to watch
This is the best one yet
Fantastic! It goes to show that the brains are out there. Good lady!!
Got to be the number one presentation and deal ever on Dragons Den.
Stunning how she has evolved. Hope her success continues,,, Gx
Sharon is proof… see an idea, go for it & never look back!
Absolutely flawless business and individual. By far the best I’ve ever seen
Congratulations, you've been outstanding!!!! Good luck for the future.
The aftermath of this deal made me realise how much of a snake James is.
what happened?
@@dhc2 Commenting to find out too.
Yes, I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him.
@@psoteriou3884 Why though?
What happened?
I'm so proud of her
Having spent many years threading cable through ducts, cavities and god knows what, I have clearly missed something. Like most engineers I used a set of thin nylon rods which do exactly what I saw in the video. I used them back in 1970. So what is special about these? Sure we didn't use magnets which maybe are now strong enough to hold the wire against some of the friction encountered, but a bit of duct tape worked fine - never had a problem during thousands of instals. Must be me!
Most electricians already have a set of rods they use to feed cables, but I guess the main difference here is the cable bring fed down the tube.
I would’ve like to see the invention better but yes normally you fish it with wire or fibreglass rod. Often you’d have to pull it through bends and corner with some force so magnets/ pipe wouldn’t work.
lol we call them a fish.
Neil
DUCT Tape of course has a fabric backing to give it the durability it has.
Many people call vinyl tape DUCT tape - because they do not know the difference.
However, I have used both methods of feeding wire through cavities and ceilings -
attaching a small neodymium magnet to a cable with Tape - (sometimes utilizing
a nylon rod) and a larger neodymium magnet along the ceiling to steer the cable
in the right direction.
As a former Airforce pilot and an Electronics/Electro-Mechanical engineer -
Air refueling works because the refueling rod and bucket are aligned and engaged
magnetically - So for me, this concept is nothing new.
use a very long drill bit, and use that as a draw wire.
Humble and willing to learn, get help she needs by the real experts. She is concerned about safety too, seems a real treasure and a great mother! I hope she goes far!
Outstanding!
I love this woman. This is the best episode
Her pitch was superb!
Best Pitch i have ever seen flawless presentation for a great product
awesome idea. had to use my 2ft masonry drill many times.
Best pitch on the den I’ve seen. Absolutely A+
Best pitch ever!
Love this episode
Brilliant ⭐️
One of the best ever. She was excellent.
Phenomenal woman. Very rare to see such perfection in the den. Sharon is a force to recon with. 👍🏽👍🏽
What a lovely lady good luck to her and her daughter ❤️
she only made 100k. Was shafted by the dragons.
not really, the dragons ruined her business
Best pitch ever.
They were tripping over each other to do a deal with her, even when she revealed her ideal dragon.
I thought for sure, Peter was gonna swoop in there.
Shame ultimately she made the wrong decision on the day!
There's an article in the Daily Mail newspaper about this with the news heading, "Dragons' Den winner reveals £80k promise was in fact 'a loan' - of which only £26,500 ever emerged". It's in the Daily Mail website.
One of the best pitches hope she did well
Brilliant!
What an amazing lady. The most professional episode ever presented in the den that I have seen.
She smashed it! 👏🏻
But if you think about it it's been around for years but with something similar. But with piercings to thread the stud/piercing the the hole. It's a simple idea yet affective and good on her.
Fantastic presentation. Very impressed. And a Scunthorpe lass! I was beginning to think that she'd made a mistake in letting the two guys know she'd wanted them as it turned the tables and they put their higher, I think, because of it. She wanted 50K for 15%, whereas I think she should have gone in for 100k for 10% as surely the value would be over £1m with all those contracts and sales. As it was she settled for giving away 66% more than she'd offered for 60% more cash, which she didn't need. The dragons for a bargain there. But she needed then to help her, you can tell that after two years of stress A hard work she was flagging. Good for her!
On the other hand 15% for 50k values the company at 333k. Her final deal of 22.5% for 80k values the company at 355k. So she got a good deal there.
When we have drilled the wall we then tape the wire onto the drill bit and pull back.
Or push a coat hanger wire through. simple.
Then James Caan tried to get her to sign a crappy deal after and it never went anywhere.
Such a strong and determont woman fair play to you keep up the good work
She actually gave me chills. What a quality business woman, couldn't think of a better business partner: straight shooter, concise, factual, knowledgable, problem solver, self reflective and charming. Might be my favourite pitch almost feel proud watching her do her thing. Wish her much success and a bit more sleep in the coming years.
Perfectly put.
Shes an amazing woman and her pitch was perfect and business sense brilliant but her product is only impressive to people who don't use it. Cable rods were invented years ago, all she has done is put a magnet on the end. Also the health and safety part of the job is drilling the hole through the wall first.
Agreed except that this is a very old show and these preceded cable rods for a short while.
Have to see if can my Uncle one of these! The amount of times It’s a nightmare trying to put cable through with a wire coathanger!
They actually bought the 23% of the company for 24 pounds and then was to provide the 80 000 whenever they wanted as a loan. She only realized this after signing...
How do you know
Google and it’s the first thing that comes up bro
You go girl 💖
She's amazing, wow.
Duncan’s smile at 6:08 was so cool
8:18 what a brilliant moment haha
Cracking pitch! & got what she wanted! All the best to her & others that have it to get a product that they can pitch . .
Look into what happened after. Those two dragons put her through the ringer and almost bankrupted her. These are not good people, they are only after money. The only positive from going on this show is exposure. The lucky ones leave without a deal with a dragon.
The most invest able Entrepreneur of all time in the Den...
And she got scammed by James Caan
@@danriaz9678 Surely not. James seems such a well mannered guy
@@Casey-Jones no. Its in her book. Got a loan from him. Can also fell out with Bannatyne.
Of ALL time? You haven't been around that long have you???
Look up what a hilti core drill is , this requires a sleeve to push the cable through..exact same as a stint, it requires a vessel/ tube to stop it blocking
What is used in heart treatment
Amazing product and well presented
What a fabulous lady this girl really is, a proper gem.
That was a master class in how to pitch.
That look from Duncan to James and the handshake that followed is priceless! 🤣
They’re salivating over taking advantage of her. They literally preyed on her and didn’t hold up their end of the deal
Am I missing something? If the hole is on an angle as in the demo it would still be a faff trying to get the tool through. She had the advantage of looking down the cavity.
Hole is drilled at the perfect size for the wand using a long masonry drill bit that goes through one wall and out the other. That lines everything up, whatever angle it`s drilled.
Very intelligent lady.. great pitch.. and a product of unique quality
this was fun to watch hehe
Hard to please these guys .. but superb appreciation.. she can have this clip on her CV and get any job she desires🔥
Job? Why and what for? When you know you can take your own invention and company to greater heights.
Will still end up using a fishing reel or rods and a bit of insulating tape, been doing it for the last 20 years and had no issues
Good on her. Wish her well, and such a great idea.
all you need is a copper tube...an sds bit slightly bigger ..about 10 mm and away you go
