In Dragon's Den, which entrepreneur founded Crafter's Companion?

The story behind the answer

Sara Davies founded Crafter's Companion, the craft-supplies company linked to her Dragon's Den career.

Davies started Crafter's Companion in 2005 while she was a student at the University of York. The company first became known for a tool that helped crafters make envelopes for handmade cards, then expanded into papercraft, stamping, die-cutting, sewing, and other creative products.

Her entrepreneurial success led to an appointment as a Dragon on the BBC programme in 2019. She became associated with practical advice for small businesses and with the large consumer craft market. The founding fact is separate from the question of when she joined the panel.

Crafter's Companion is sometimes incorrectly attributed to another female dragon because the programme has featured several women entrepreneurs. Kelly Hoppen is associated with interior design, Deborah Meaden with leisure and investment, and Rachel Elnaugh with Red Letter Days. Davies is the founder connected to the craft brand.
