Interview with a Dragon 
for students

Star of Dragons’ Den Theo Paphitis is to be quizzed over his own business decisions by a panel of university students tonight.

Mr Paphitis – who runs three top retail chains will be placed on the spot himself by enterprise development students from Huddersfield University.

The students, who have been researching the Paphitis empire, will question him about his businesses and suggest improvements they think he could make.

The idea for the event has been developed by both Mr Paphitis and John Thompson, a professor of entrepreneurship at Huddersfield.

Prof Thompson said: “He is not the sort of guy who won’t listen.

“He is always on the lookout for fresh ideas. He suggested the session as a way to start a dialogue on what constitutes a successful business.”
