I was filmed for Dragons’ Den on the 6th June 2018 and it was first shown on 6th January 2019. At the time, to say it hadn’t gone too well, would have been quite the understatement. However, things move on and I hadn’t given it much thought until last night, when there was a repeat of series 16, episode 11 on BBC2. At the end, there was a trailer for next week’s episode, series 16, episode 12, and my mugshot came up on the screen. Oh no!
Now I’ve had time to reflect, I can honestly say it has not been a bad thing for the business. When I’m doing exhibitions around the country, people regularly come up to me and ask how I’m getting on, or ask me where they can see the episode on YouTube. In every case, I have been met with a positive response and a desire for me to be successful. Not once has anyone placed a negative spin on the experience and made me feel embarrassed by the outcome. Thank you everyone.

Why didn’t we think of this before? Brizebox has established the concept of having a door which is interchangeable between the front and rear. Brilliant; what a simple and clever idea! However, it has now gone one step further and has a door which can be hinged from the left or right. Like everything else about the Brizebox design philosophy, it’s really simple and effective and allows customers to customise their parcel box for their own needs!!!
Receiving parcels on time and first time will in no doubt help in reducing the carbon footprint. Thats where Brizebox comes in. By having your own secure parcel drop box will ensure you receive your parcels at first point of delivery, saving unnecessary journeys!
According to research nearly Two in three people who shop online have had parcels lost, damaged or turn up late .
Other common issues include parcels being left in unsecured locations, such as bins, and unnecessary failed deliveries, where people waited at home for a parcel, only to receive a note saying they’d missed it.
Now more and more people are buying a Brizebox secure parcel delivery box. Sales have quadrupled over the past eighteen months and the trend looks set to continue. Feedback from our customers is excellent, many saying Brizebox knocks spots off our competitors for build quality, size and security.
Brizebox has introduced Apartment Parcel Delivery Boxes, which can be installed into the communal areas of blocks of flats. If there is no space in the communal areas, this is not a problem because Brizeboxes are weatherproof and be installed outside. They can be bolted to the ground, bolted to walls or mounted on posts. This solves a massive problem whole people who live in apartments and want to receive their parcels when not at home. It can also negate the need to have a concierge, which can be a major cost saving in the running of apartment blocks.
So, if you live in a block of flats, or even maisonettes, and want to receive your online orders when not at home, look no further than Brizebox.
We are starting to see many more Parcel Delivery Boxes on our streets now, but there is one trend that has taken the industry by surprise, and this is the Built-In Parcel Box.
Originally introduced by Brizebox, it was seen as an exercise in what was achievable, as opposed to a new phenomenon, says its innovator, Brian Willcox. It was initially only made for the Standard and Large models because he could not see any requirement for an Extra-large version, but it wasn’t long before he was being asked for Extra-Large, Built-In versions too, which are very popular for building into garden walls and the sides of garages etc.
The next innovation from Brizebox was the rear-door access, which again has been very popular with customers who want a rear-retrieval Parcel Delivery Box. So now customers can have the final word in Parcel Drop Box one-upmanship by having the combination of a Built-In Brizebox with a rear-facing door. Parcel Box heaven!
If you’re interested in a Parcel Box which is built into either a wall, fence or iron railings, have a look on the range on offer from Brizebox.
