This video I think shows how the mind of the corporation raider works, they don't necersarily see building stones to the end product and dream, a balance sheet and profit are number one.
Thermaskirt is now sold throughout the WORLD , and makes annual profits exceeding £5,000,000 pa. Take that, Dragons! Inventor told to leave the den is beating the crunch with million-pound contract
Inventor Martin Wadsworth went head to head with Duncan Bannatyne and Theo Paphitis who argued that no one would buy his product ThermaSkirt. But the businessman is now beating the credit crunch crisis after just securing a contract worth up to £4million next year alone.
Into the den: Inventor Martin Wadsworth goes head to head with Duncan Bannatyne as he shows him ThermaSkirt And the firm has secured orders from other companies which could see its turnover rise even further.
Mr Wadsworth, who appeared on the BBC2 show last month, was rounded on by the Dragons after asking for £150,000 for a 10 per cent stake in his company DiscreteHeat ,which manufactures a radiator that looks exactly like a skirting board. The inventor, who had a sparring session with multi-millionaire Mr Bannatyne, said: 'Going on Dragons' Den was a very daunting experience and very nerve-racking.
'You don't meet the Dragons beforehand or afterwards so there is no camaraderie.
'It turned into something very adversarial. It really was an ordeal by fire.
'I walked in and saw them for the first time and gave them my presentation.
'Then as soon as I finished the first question, Duncan Bannatyne asked what was wrong with my product.
'So straight away, it was head to head with him. I didn't fall for that one and said you tell me what is wrong with it and I will counter.
'He couldn't come up with anything because we don't have any problems. It is pretty bullet-proof.
'He has no idea of anything to do with the plumbing industry and suggested we make it out of wood.
' Mitt Romney’s record running the Bain Capital investment firm continues to get close and sharp-edged scrutiny, giving the Obama campaign ammunition as it tries to defend its own record during rough economic times.
Specifically, critics say that Bain during the years of Romney’s leadership had a direct hand in sending US jobs abroad. A long piece in the Washington Post this week details such activity when Romney ran the firm.
“During the nearly 15 years that Romney was actively involved in running Bain, a private equity firm that he founded, it owned companies that were pioneers in the practice of shipping work from the United States to overseas call centers and factories making computer components, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,” the Post reported. “While Bain was not the largest player in the outsourcing field, the private equity firm was involved early on, at a time when the departure of jobs from the United States was beginning to accelerate and new companies were emerging as handmaidens to this outflow of employment.”
