Dragons’ Den success for Welsh entrepreneurs with investment from Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones

Two Welsh entrepreneurs have secured £80,000 investment for their sun care product from Dragons' Den investors Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden.

Viewers who tuned into BBC One show finale watched as Kelli Aspland and Laura Waters from Cwmbran braved the den to pitch Solar Buddies, a no-mess applicator that enables children to put sunscreen on themselves.

The best friends and business partners launched the company in response to the ‘no touch’ policies at their children’s schools. They found that, without help, the kids would make a massive mess applying the suncream or end up sunburnt if they forgot to reapply it.
