Peter Jones is the investor who has appeared continuously from the original 2005 panel of the British television show Dragons' Den.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and businessman whose interests have included telecommunications, technology, retail and property. He joined the programme at its beginning and became one of its most recognisable investors, known for examining a pitch's commercial potential, margins and route to growth.
The original panel changed over time. Other early dragons, including Duncan Bannatyne and Theo Paphitis, later left the programme, while new investors joined in subsequent series. Jones's continuing presence therefore makes him a link between the launch-era den and later versions of the show.
This fact concerns the regular British television series, not every international edition using the Dragons' Den title. It also refers to continuous participation in the programme's main investor lineup, rather than occasional guest appearances or related specials.
