In which city was Dragon's Den investor Deborah Meaden born?

Dragon's Den investor Deborah Meaden was born in Taunton, Somerset.

Meaden was born in Taunton in 1959 and later developed a career in business, investment and television. She became particularly associated with leisure and retail businesses before joining the Dragon's Den panel.

Her family background included business interests, and she studied at Brighton Technical College. She went on to build experience in operating and investing in companies, which shaped the direct, commercially focused style she brought to the programme.

Taunton is the county town of Somerset in south-west England. It should not be confused with the places where Meaden later lived, worked or appeared on television; the question asks for her birthplace, not her business base or home.
