"I'M IN" - DRAGON RELAUNCHES JESSOPS AND BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO BRITISH HIGH STREET

JESSOPS BACK IN A FLASH AS PETER JONES CBE OPENS DOORS AT SIX STORES THIS THURSDAY

28 March 2013 – Jessops, the iconic UK photography retailer, will re-open its doors this Thursday after a vote of confidence from Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Peter Jones CBE.

In a major comeback, Jones will launch six stores over the Easter weekend, then up to 30 throughout April, at the rate of one a day.

MOBILE PHONE SECURITY

Mybunjee is an ingenious device that was presented on Dragons' Den by Emma Jones and Mark Ferguson. It's a gadget that protects mobile phones from accidental damage or theft.  As with so many great products the Mybunjee is a simple idea, it slips over and secures your mobile phone and is secured with a coiled bunjee cord. The cord clips on to your handbag, trousers or belt and stops the phone hitting the ground when dropped and it also helps prevent theft.

Bangers and Cash

Paul Turner came on Dragons' Den to present his range of award winning sausages and to seek investment and guidance to help him launch the range nationally. Paul is a traditional family butcher, as was his father and grandfather so he knows all about making a great quality sausage. His products have won numerous national awards but he has not been able to get the level of distribution that would allow a wide audience to sample his range.

A growing investment!

WoodBlocX is a new product for garden landscaping. Chunky wooden BlocX fit together using large plastic dowels to create strong raised beds, planters, retaining walls, ponds, kerbing or special garden features like seats – almost any structure you want to build in the garden. The BlocX are topped with bevelled capping to give an elegant finish to the whole job.

Bags of potential

In the latest episode of Dragons' Den Peter along with Deborah Meaden invested in Kellie Forbes and Gill Hayward two experienced media executives who have launched a versatile range of kids activity backpacks under the brand name YUU.
