Our final speaker in the spotlight is Paul Jacob, the Founder and Owner of Smart Storage.

Paul founded & developed Smart Storage in 2011, the 1st modular under-stairs storage system to fit into all domestic homes.

The former construction engineer appeared on Dragons Den last back in 2012. Two of the Dragons offered him more than he initially asked for and it was Norah Casey, CEO of Harmonia, who ultimately sealed the deal. After almost an hour and three-quarters of grilling in the Den, Paul came away with an investment of €65,000 for 20 percent of his business.

He has grown the business dramatically since then. Smart Storage is working with some of the leading housing developers, their products are now being installed in new housing developments across the UK & Ireland.
