The manufacturers of a self-assembly system for creating raised beds and garden features has emerged successfully from the Dragons’ Den.

WoodBlocX, based in Dingwall, Ross-Shire, have won the backing of Dragon Peter Jones, who is investing £75,000 into the Scottish company to help it achieve its aim of becoming a national brand. In return he will get a 25% stake in the company.

“It is absolutely fantastic news,” says WoodBlocX’s Henry Blake.  “We are a family business and Peter’s support is fundamental in helping us take our product nationwide.”

Raised beds, seats, greenhouse bases, pond surrounds and even retaining walls and steps are simple to create using the WoodBlocX sustainably certified pine blocks with their recycled plastic dowels.

“The blocks are precision made ensuring that the finished items is a perfect fit with no need for heavy lifting, drilling or screwing,” adds Henry, who appeared on the show last Sunday.

Peter Jones stated: “I was really impressed with the WoodBlocX pitch and happy to be a partner in such an exciting and versatile product. With a bit of help and guidance from my team and I we can transform WoodBlocX into a household gardening brand."

The BlocX can be used for many different applications and, if you have three million BlocX and enough time and space, you could build a life sized model of ‘T’ Rex!  The company will even give you the detailed plans.
