E40: DERRY GREEN (THE SECRET GARDEN GLAMPING) -"DRAGON'S DEN WAS THE ULTIMATE TEST TO SEE IF MY BUSINESS WAS WORTHY OF DOING MORE"

Mark Tuxford Episode 40

The Secret Garden Glamping’s very own Derry Green joins People Behind Brands Podcast for a heart-warming, emotional episode on how he grew his business born out of COVID-19 for the sole purpose of keeping his children entertained in unprecedented times. What started as a camping trip in the garden turned into a multi-award winning, 5 star brand which made it onto a recent episode of Dragon’s Den, where Derry pitched his business to the Dragons looking for further investment. Derry opens up about his experience on the show and what happened once he accepted Deborah Meaden’s offer of 5% into the business. Derry is the Peter Pan of business who is fulfilling his 12 year-old self’s dream of building dens in the back garden, but throughout the episode Derry opens up about learning from his Dad, who gave him his work ethic and their unique bond before his death 11 years ago. Let’s find out why Derry is such a likeable character and how his incredible journey unfolded.
