Savage Digital Ltd was a record label that was originally known as RKA Records and Bannatyne Music.[1] It was first established in October 2010 by Ryan Ashmore and Liam Webb, and received investment on the BBC TV Show Dragons Den.

History

Ashmore and Webb successfully gained investment from Duncan Bannatyne on the Dragon's Den in 2011. Bannatyne got a 79% share of the company in return for a £50,000 investment, the largest proportion of equity bought on the show.[2][3][4][5][6][7] In 2012 RKA Records was renamed Bannatyne Music,[8] and subsequently managed by Kevin Savage. In 2018 the company again changed its name to Savage Digital Ltd. The label is currently dormant.
