Dragon’s delight at Zeven Media’s new office

DRAGON’S Den investor Deborah Meaden has given Zeven Media’s Manchester offices her stamp of approval when she called in.

The social media photo booth company – soon also to open an office in London – has experienced a huge increase in contracts since its founders Josh and Hyrum Cook appeared on Dragon’s Den at the start of the year.

They secured £50,000 of funding from Meaden to expand their business and launch the UK’s first free-standing contactless payment photo booth – and have set about doing just that in recent months.

The company’s new 2,000+ sq ft offices next to Old Trafford have doubled office space and allowed for more on-site booth production, while the team has been increased with five new appointments which includes the opening of the base in London.

Managing director Josh Cook said: “We’re delighted to move into our new Manchester office and it was great to welcome Deborah along last week so she could see how her investment is being put to good use.”
