A STAR of Dragons' Den will speak at the next #Epic Talks hosted by Wiltshire Council.

Wiltshire-born Jordan Daykin, 29, was the youngest person ever to win investment on the BBC Two show for his company Gripit Fixings.

He invented the Gripit to help people attach anything to plasterboard after breaking several drill bits trying to put a curtain rail up.

The talk, in County Hall, Trowbridge, will be followed by a Q&A session and a book signing of Jordan's latest book Gripped: My Story.

Joanne Pitt, director of human resources and organisational development at Wiltshire Council, said: “ We have got a really diverse line-up of speakers booked and we’re really excited for people to hear their stories, perspectives and inspirational advice.

“Next up is Jordan Daykin, and clearly anyone who can impress the Dragons and achieve the kind of success he has at such a young age is someone very much worth listening to”

The next speaker in the series is Rachel Neaman on January 29, a leader in digital transformation.
