What masterful sound's engineering, where the narrative is drowned out by superfluous "music".

[@jamiesmusic]

Good effort but you need to turn the music up louder so it completely drowns out Evan.

[@user-hg1ht2vm6p]

That's exactly what we want to happen with autistic Evan 🙈

[@paulstannard7985]

Yep, Evan's repetition of what we can already hear for ourselves is really effing annoying🤬

[@notbernard65]

I fast fwd past Evan every time.

[@dannyholmes5156]

Didn't like the arrogant nod if the head and the way he looked down on people too

[@thesnackbandit]

Pretty simple negotiation tactics. Also I think people don’t at all understand the gravity of the opportunity cost of investing in early stage businesses like this.

[@Joefdgtr]

Company was dissolved in 2013. Company traded very poorly based on the fact that in the final Administrators report, showed that there was an estimated £932k deficit.

[@Joefdgtr]

Suprisingly, both Duncan and Richards investment went through - So sadly lost out on this one.

[@ShanGrz]

They trade under the name TOTAL TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT LTD now

[@yannick9473]

I've seen many who went under in my lifetime, and funny enough they owned their vehicles. Maybe it would better off leasing the vehicles out to other service providers, rather than providing the service yourself. Cash flow is a potential serious problem.

[@saintjimmy456]

@@vics749 In all of the Dragon's Den episodes I've seen I've never thought that a reaction from a Dragon has been taken from a different part of the show and inserted it into another conversation to make it look like something happened that didn't. And I don't think it happened here. Peter is probably disgusted at the percentage offered.

[@OperaJH]

Because Peter could easily foresee what eventually happened to the business.

[@benleah4783]

While it may well have been "valued at £4m months after The Den", Igloo went into administration in 2010 and wound up by order of the court in 2011 ... but yes, I see that makes for a less pithy video title!

These guys were very thorough and clearly knew their market and how to provide good service. The dragons, especially Peter, were unfair, in an era when Peter wasn’t the coward that he was today. Sadly, he has gone the other way. Peter was the best in the mid seasons in the early to mid 10s!
