A former Dragons' Den contestant has opened the door for private equity investment with her free-from brand set to "skyrocket" by the end of 2024.
Kirsty Henshaw established Kirsty's from her kitchen table in Preston in 2009 and has now set her sights on reaching a turnover of £25m within the next three years.
Despite being told by a bank that she "had no chance", she secured the backing of Dragons Peter Jones and Duncan Banatyne after applying for the 2010 series - having polished off a bottle of wine to help with the nerves.
