Which Dragon invested in the GripIt plasterboard-fixing company on Dragons' Den?

The story behind the answer

Deborah Meaden invested in the GripIt plasterboard-fixing company on Dragons' Den.

GripIt developed wall fixings designed to support heavy objects in plasterboard. The product attracted attention because plasterboard can be difficult to anchor securely with ordinary plugs, especially when shelves, radiators or other substantial items are involved.

Deborah Meaden invested in the business after its appearance on Dragons' Den. The company’s pitch became one of the programme’s notable product-focused deals, linking an everyday DIY problem with a patented fixing design.

GripIt is sometimes confused with general-purpose wall-plug brands. Its identity rests on specialist fixings for plasterboard rather than ordinary masonry anchors. Meaden’s investment also illustrates the range of businesses considered by the programme: not only software and food brands, but practical hardware products.
