In July 2019 Daykin resigned as a director of UK Building Products Limited and left the company. In November 2019 the company successfully filed for a voluntary insolvency. GripIt has since secured a license deal with Charles Bentley a global distributor based in Loughborough.

Since 2017, Daykin has been sole director of VPS Group Limited, a company operating in the automotive sector.

In February 2016, Daykin raised £2 million from a crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube to fund the rapid expansion of the GripIt Fixings business abroad. In that month his net worth was estimated to be £10 million.

After Daykin's first appearance on the BBC Two business programme Dragons' Den in August 2014, he appeared on ITV's This Morning television programme. On 28 February 2016, he appeared on the BBC Two programme Pitches to Riches which looked at Dragons' Den's biggest success stories.

In 2014, Daykin appeared on Dragons' Den and secured an £80,000 investment for 25% of his company from Deborah Meaden. By 2016, GripIt Fixings were stocked in over 3,000 UK stores and exported to 32 countries.

In 2008, shortly after Daykin moved into his grandparents' home, he and his grandfather Stanley Daykin set about converting the garage into a bedroom for him. Daykin wanted both a blackout blind and a curtain rail to ensure no light could break into the room. After Daykin and his grandfather broke several fixings and drill bits attempting to hang the curtain rail, he went to the local DIY store to find a better solution, but could not find anything suitable. That afternoon they both went to the shed, and created the GripIt invention. The fixing was soon successful in mounting a television on the wall, and Daykin spotted a gap in the market. Four years later a patent was granted for GripIt and the invention was taken to market.
