- Neville to be a judge on Dragon's Den
- Will use his experience as a businessman
- Currently working as a pundit
WHAT HAPPENED? Former Manchester United defender Neville will now try his hand as one of the panelists on Season 21 of Dragon's Den in 2024, a show that airs in the UK where participants are given three minutes to pitch their business ideas to five multi-millionaires who will then invest their own time and money in those ideas and people.
WHAT THEY SAID: "I am excited to join the Dragons, and to meet the entrepreneurs brave enough to face us in the Den," said Neville. "I hope my personal journey shows that you can take the experiences you've had in one part of your career and use them to do something entirely different and make it a success.
"Business is all about managing people and managing yourself and I'm looking forward to sharing my experience to help the entrepreneurs we'll meet in the Den reach their potential."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Neville, who is also a football pundit and commentator, is a co-owner of Salford City, two hotels in Manchester, and a production firm. He also co-founded University Academy 92 (UA92) with fellow United Class of '92 members.
Since he was 21, he has also worked as a property developer; one of his most recent ventures is the £200 million St. Michael's development in Manchester.
