Peter Jones backed the gourmet gummy sweet company after an appearance on the BBC television programme.

"After watching Dragons Den since the age of nine, just being in the studio was a pinch me moment. With adrenaline running through my body, catching Sara’s eye and seeing her smile, as I walked out the lift, settled my nerves immediately. The feedback in the Den was incredible and to have Peter’s vote of confidence in the brand and myself, left us really excited about what the future holds for Tasty Mates."

The funding round was led by company founder James Dickson alongside high net worth investors and The FSE Group.

"We are thrilled to have completed this funding round following our successful MBO. Our wholesale division is experiencing an unprecedented level of growth, and we’re very pleased to have welcomed several new 5-star hotels to our client base in recent months. With Andy Phillips appointed as CEO, and David Read as Chairman, we believe we now have the best possible platform to scale the business."
