James Caan was replaced by Hilary Devey on the BBC series Dragons' Den in 2011.
Caan joined the Dragons' Den panel in 2007, replacing Richard Farleigh. He was known for building businesses in recruitment and private equity, and his time on the programme covered several series of pitches and negotiations.
In 2011, Caan left the regular panel and Hilary Devey took his place. Devey brought experience from the freight and logistics sector, particularly through Pall-Ex, the palletised freight network she founded.
Panel changes are a frequent source of confusion because the series has had many Dragons over more than two decades. Caan's departure was not the same event as the later exits of Theo Paphitis, Duncan Bannatyne or Deborah Meaden. The specific 2011 change was Caan out and Devey in.
