Third in the den is Active Hands Company founder Rob Smith and his business development manager Jo Gumbley. 

Based near Solihull in the West Midlands and launched in 2007, the firm has developed adaptive gripping aids to help people with reduced hand function live more independently.

Smith had the idea in the late 1990s after he experienced difficulties following a spinal cord injury.

They are asking for £75k for a 5% stake in the business.

It turned over £738k last year.
