Founder Stuart Archbold and Andrew Leslie stepped onto the carpet in Season 8, Episode 2 in the episode that aired 21 July 2010. Shopbox Systems Ltd, the outdoor storage box for food shopping, pitched in the Sports & Outdoors category, one of 59 sports & outdoors businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

The ask was £250,000 for 10% of the company, an implied valuation of £2.5M.

No deal. Every dragon declined, and Shopbox Systems Ltd walked. But a Dragons’ Den appearance reaches millions of viewers whether or not a check gets written, and plenty of no-deal companies have turned that airtime into lasting businesses.

Season 8 saw 81 pitches, and 17 of them closed a deal on air. In the Sports & Outdoors category overall, roughly 42% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
