Touker Suleyman owns the fashion retailer Hawes & Curtis.
Hawes & Curtis is a British shirt and clothing brand with a history reaching back to 1913. Suleyman acquired the company in 2005, helping develop it from a traditional shirtmaker into a broader menswear and womenswear retailer with shops and online sales.
Suleyman is a fashion and retail entrepreneur who also acquired the shirt brand Ghost in 2008. He joined Dragons' Den as a Dragon in 2015, bringing experience in manufacturing, sourcing, branding and high-street retail to the programme.
A frequent confusion is between Hawes & Curtis and other fashion businesses linked with Dragons. The retailer is associated with Suleyman, while Theo Paphitis is particularly linked with Ryman and Robertsons, and Peter Jones with Phones International Group. Naming the company makes the ownership fact specific.
