ArrowHeadz founder Cameron Clarke pitched his darts retail and leisure business on Dragons’ Den tonight.

Clarke, originally from Essex, opened the retailer’s first store in Norwich’s Castle Quarter in 2024.

It features playing lanes – two of the three featuring automated scoring – and a cafe/bar. Customers can try darts and accessories before they buy.

ArrowHeadz also runs leagues and events, as well as coaching sessions, from the venue.

Clarke opened its second bricks-and-mortar store in Livingston, Scotland, in September last year. Shortly afterwards, he launched its online store, which was more than two years in development.

Cameron is also a glass reinforced plastic fabricator and installer working under big-name contractors and on major sites across the UK for Step on Safety, while in 2011-12 he worked as a welder on Doha International Airport, now known as Hamad International Airport, in Qatar.
