Dragons' Den snub doesn't stop Wheelbarrow Booster
The makers of the Wheelbarrow Booster, who left the Dragon's Den without investment earlier this year, have seen sales of the product soar since the programme was aired on TV...
Father and son, Mike and Joe Smith, rejected a £50,000 offer for their wheelbarrow invention on the popular programme.
In one of the most heated exchanges seen on the show, the Dragons criticised the Smiths' attitude but it has ironically worked out in their favour, resulting in exposure in two national newspapers and mention on the Chris Evans' breakfast show on Radio 2.
As a result of all the publicity sales of the Wheelbarrow Booster, which increases the capacity of a normal barrow by up to 300%, taking off.
"The whole thing has been amazing," said Joe. "The exposure has attracted a lot of attention, and we're really happy how things are going."
