Friendly Dragons Den
Got a great business idea, that needs some advice to get started, do you already have a business that needs some extra expertise to move to the next level or would you simply like to test an idea with some experts in business? Woodley Business Club is staging a Dragon’s Den event as part of the carnival week of events at the Oakwood Centre, Woodley in support of Woodley Carnival and is currently looking for participants to pitch their business plans.
Woodley’s Dragon’s Den is open to candidates from age 14 upwards and successful applicants will have the opportunity to receive business advice from five successful local entrepreneurs at the event. The most successful candidate will receive a tablet device and the opportunity for a free start-up business consultation from a dragon of their choice.
Forming the Dragon’s Den will be a consortium of local business owners. Combined, the Dragon’s Den will have expertise in franchising, business growth, publicity, people development, marketing and branding.
Organising the event is Tom Clark of Bbite, Chair of the Woodley Business Club. He comments: “Woodley has a thriving business community, with two key industrial estates, a busy retail centre and many local businesses working from home, there is more to Woodley business than meets the eye. It is an attractive location for companies looking to relocate and is ideally situated for access to London, Heathrow, the M4 corridor, M3 and M40.”

There is just one principle difference to the real Dragon’s Den – the dragons are all very friendly and keen to help others start and lead a successful business
