In the BBC programme Dragon's Den, which company was founded by entrepreneur Kelly Hoppen?

The story behind the answer

Kelly Hoppen founded Kelly Hoppen Interiors.

Hoppen is a British interior designer whose work is associated with a restrained design style, neutral colours and clean, geometric lines. She established her interior-design business before joining Dragon's Den and built a career spanning residential projects, commercial interiors, furniture and home products.

Her appearance on the BBC programme brought a design and luxury-consumer perspective to the panel. She joined as a Dragon in the later series of the show and became one of several investors whose professional identity was strongly tied to a specialist creative industry.

The company name can be confused with individual product ranges or later licensing businesses connected with Hoppen's designs. Kelly Hoppen Interiors is the direct business name associated with her interior-design practice. It is also distinct from KHL Group, the publishing company founded by her brother, which is not her interiors company.
