Sara Davies, one of the investors on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, is leaving the show after the current series to concentrate on her own company, Crafter’s Companion.
Here’s the Lowdown: Davies announced on Instagram that she’s stepping back from Dragons’ Den to refocus on her role as CEO of Crafter’s Companion. She emphasized the significant time commitment required to be a Dragon, going beyond just filming the show to include active involvement in the businesses she invests in.
What This Means Now: Davies won’t be filming the next series of Dragons’ Den. However, she will still appear in the remaining episodes of the current series, airing later this year. This signifies a shift in her priorities, putting her original business venture first.
The Bigger Picture: Davies’ departure highlights the demanding nature of being a Dragons’ Den investor. The show requires not only on-screen presence but also a substantial behind-the-scenes commitment to the companies they support. It also reveals Davies’ dedication to her own business ventures, choosing to prioritize Crafter’s Companion. Fans of Davies can look forward to seeing her in the new quiz show Time Is Money on ITV, as announced recently.
