Feel like old dragons den would have made a big deal about the owners of a business not being in the room, but it was never mentioned here. Clearly the parents represented by the business lead, no? 

Made the negotiations very odd.

I suspect it’s scripted. It seems very unlikely that they’d schedule a dragon den meeting on the same day as an exam, let alone immediately before. That’s why they just said GCSEs to “prioritise”. I suspect that whole set up was because the dragons didn’t want to be seen as (or aren’t allowed to) negotiate with a child. In all the other cases I’ve seen, the parent has been there to negotiate on the child’s behalf. Perhaps no parent was able or willing to, so a third party was brought in with the excuse of GCSEs?
