In Dragon's Den, which investor was known for the retail brand Robert Dyas?

Theo Paphitis was the Dragon associated with the retail brand Robert Dyas.

Paphitis acquired Robert Dyas in 2012. The company is a British retailer selling household goods, hardware, DIY products and related items through stores and online channels. Its long history and established shop network made it a substantial retail asset in Paphitis's portfolio.

Paphitis's Dragon's Den expertise was particularly relevant to entrepreneurs seeking retail distribution. He could assess not only an item's appeal but also its packaging, margins, stock management and suitability for a high-street chain.

Robert Dyas is sometimes attributed to another retail-focused investor because several Dragons have built or owned consumer businesses. The key distinction is that Paphitis founded Ryman but acquired Robert Dyas; the question asks for the Dragon linked with the latter brand.
