A businessman who owns a plus-size clothing company in Scunthorpe won investment when he appeared on BBC’s Dragon’s Den and his inspirational rags to riches tale caught the attention of many.
Ben Pearson, owner of Big Clothing 4 U, won investment for his business when he appeared on Dragon’s Den. | Screenshot: BBC One In 2021, he said his company turned over £2.9 million and in 2022 “we’re on track to turn over £3.5 million”. However, Ben was stuck and “can’t expand and get into the International markets”, so, he went on Dragon’s Den seeking a £150,000 investment for a 10% stake in his business.
Ben’s temperament and tenacity won him plenty of admirers in the Den, including from Steven Bartlett who said: “You’re one of the best pitches I’ve ever seen since I’ve been in the Den.” Ben Pearson said it took him “a lot of guts” to appear on BBC One’s Dragon’s Den. | Screenshot: BBC OnePeter Jones admitted he was initially going to make Ben an offer, but said “sadly I can’t invest as the balance sheet demonstrates the business isn’t quite there”.
Steven Bartlett told Ben “I am really inspired by your journey” and described him as “smart, inspiring, relentless, dogged and trustworthy”, but unfortunately didn’t feel he could invest in the business.
