Magic Whiteboard
Create a whiteboard from a roll - anywhere in seconds!
Business description
Magic Whiteboard allows you to create a whiteboard from a roll - anywhere, in seconds! It combines the best bits of both a flipchart and a whiteboard. The sheets stick to any hard flat surface using static so there's no need for tack, tape or glue and no marks are left on walls, glass or doors. Each 20 metre rolls contains 25 perforated sheets measuring 60cm x 80cm, the same size as a flipchart pad.
Key benefits of Magic Whiteboard
- It sticks to any hard, flat surface without leaving marks
- Erasable, just use a normal dry wipe whiteboard pen
- Each sheet can be reused at least 20 times
- Environmentally friendly, it saves paper & is completely recyclable
- Portable, lightweight and there's no need for a flipchart stand

Deborah’s reasons for investing
Neil and Laura gave an assured performance in the Den, steadfastly working through their pitch to ensure that we all understood the opportunity. Although this isn't the type of investment that normally grabs me the product looked great and I felt that Theos retail expertise and my sales and marketing experience could be a really good combination for Magic Whiteboard.
What’s happened since they appeared in the Den?
Since appearing in the Den Neil and Laura have been granted sole and exclusive rights to distribute and sell Magic Whiteboard for an unlimited period. The business has already expanded from a small part time concern to a national and international brand. Sales are increasing month on month and plans are in place to further expand the business and take on extra staff.
Magic Whiteboard is now available in stores across the UK via Ryman Stationery, Partners and Stationery Box as well as online via www.magicwhiteboard.co.uk and www.ryman.co.uk. Agreements have also been secured with local distribution companies to store and distribute Magic Whiteboard across the UK.
Latest update from Neil & Laura
Working with Deborah and Theo has been a fantastic experience which has already helped us accelerate the growth of our business. Their experience and team of experts have taught us how to market Magic Whiteboard successfully. Working with Ryman Stationery has been a huge learning curve (if anyone wants any advice on how to get a barcode please get in touch!) and we are now supplying them with thousands of rolls of Magic Whiteboard. This has been a huge logistical excercise as previously we were taking the rolls to the Post office with our daughter in a pushchair - we're now having to use forklift trucks and 50ft lorries!
