In the UK television show Dragon's Den, which dragon is the founder of the Bannatyne Group?

Duncan Bannatyne is the founder of the Bannatyne Group and was an investor on the UK television show Dragon's Den.

The Bannatyne Group operates health clubs and spas, and its origins lie in Bannatyne's business career in care homes and leisure. His investments and direct questioning made him one of the most recognisable dragons in the programme's early years.

Bannatyne was part of the original British panel and appeared across multiple series. He left the programme in 2014, after which other investors took places on the panel. Because the line-up has changed repeatedly, the founder of the Bannatyne Group is sometimes confused with another dragon whose business is in leisure or retail.

The group now uses the Bannatyne name across its clubs and spas. Bannatyne's television profile is only one part of his career; his business interests and charitable work extend beyond the pitches shown in Dragon's Den.
