Dragon donates to former dinner lady
Former dinner lady, turned cake entrepreneur, Allison Whitmarsh, won a £50,000 investment from Deborah Meaden in return for a 25% stake in her business on the 2012 Christmas edition of the show.
The investment has helped the Yorkshire businesswoman build cake factories across the UK, including two sites in Huddersfield.
Propermaid now supplies caterers, cafes, delicatessens and retailers with innovative handmade cakes, such as courgette and lime, beetroot and chocolate, liquorice and dandelion and burdock.
