Win half a day of business advice with Piers Linney, the former Dragons’ Den investor

Taking advice paid off for the founders of Rejuicenate, the winners of last year’s competition, who recently opened their first permanent juice bar in a local health food shop. Based in Liverpool, the business manufactures cold-pressed juices which are stocked in select restaurants, cafes and gyms throughout the city.

Leith Taha, Co-Founder & CEO of Rejuicenate, said:

“Piers and his team came to Liverpool and spent the entire day with us talking about our business as well as spending time in the Rejuicenate kitchen. He changed the way we think about our brand locally and worked with us on our strategy to help drive our business in our own community. I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for that day with Piers, Rejuicenate would not be half the business it is today. Today we have our own store in the city centre and distribute to a number of local businesses as well as people. To know we have such an experienced and respected entrepreneur in our corner has proved invaluable.”

According to Piers Linney, “It was fantastic to meet with Rejuicenate at the start of their journey. They were all so passionate about the business, and I hope that Christian and I were able to add some real value.

The British Business Bank helps smaller businesses look beyond the norm to explore the full range of finance options available in the UK. I know that every business has its own growth ambitions – some vast, some modest – but I don’t believe there should ever be a limit on ambition. When the time is right for them, the bank offers advice and support through the Business Finance Guide (for all businesses) and the Finance Hub (for high growth businesses), which will be able to help Rejuicenate take things to the next level.”
