York Entrepreneurs take on the Dragons!

12th August 2019

Things we talked about today…

Laura’s back off holiday! She’s got up to all sorts including scuba diving and off-roading – but her highlight was her brother slipping and falling in the baby pool at the hotel, whilst holding a strawberry milkshake. Now as you can imagine strawberry milkshake and pools do not mix. As well as covering Laura and her mum in milkshake, he also managed to contaminate the baby pool with milkshake so much that it was cordoned off for 2 days! Lesson learnt: Don’t use the baby pool if you are an adult and don’t drink bright pink milkshake by the pool!

The Micklegate Soapbox Challenge is coming very soon, on the 26th August! Lots of companies and groups are prepping their Soapbox carts and taking practise runs in anticipation for the big day. Including York Sport Village! They have a Baywatch themed Soapbox and even got Ben to have a go in it on their test run.. apart from nearly crashing into a van it went very well! The video is on our Facebook page, but don’t worry, Ben is not dressed as David Hasselhoff – no speedos involved. 

Dragon’s Den started again last night on the tele box and what a way to kick the series off! York Entrepreneurs Katie and Gillain created a sun protection cream/tanning lotion hybrid which promises to protect you from the sun and UV whilst also giving you a helping hand with your fake tan too! And they managed to get a deal with the Dragons! They were on the show this morning to let us know how excited they were about working with Dragon’s Touker and Sara with their £75,000 investment.
