The directors of the Edinburgh company behind Visorcat – a glove-mounted ‘windscreen wiper’ that allows the motorcyclist to clean the helmet visor while riding (featured in BDN) – have appeared on Dragons’ Den.
Jill Boulton and brother Alan Boulton appeared on the BBC TV show on 17 August.
“Appearing on Dragons’ Den was a brilliant experience,” said Jill, 49, the company’s MD, who lives in Dunbar with her partner and fellow director Andy Pringle. “While we didn’t get an offer, it was great fun appearing on the show and was worth all the hard work. Alan rightly said that Visorcat deserved to be seen on TV, and I think we would have regretted it if we had turned down this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Visorcat got a well-deserved airing on the BBC. That’s a great result!”
Jill’s brother Alan, 45, hails from York.
Visorcat received the Institute of Advanced Motorists’ ‘IAM Likes’ accolade for road safety when it was launched in 2013. It is available from www.visorcat.com.
