Funding

Serial entrepreneur, Jordan Daykin, aged 23-years-old, has had an incredible rise in business over the past few years. At just 18, Daykin, appeared on the BBC TV show Dragons’ Den with Gripit Fixings, securing an investment from Deborah Meaden of £80,000 in return for a 25% stake.

BLM caught up with Daykin to talk Dragons’ Den, if he thinks Gripit would be where it is today without the show and his recent £5m investment in the VPS Group.
