Dragons' Den investor Duncan Bannatyne was born in Clydebank, Scotland. He was born there in 1949 and later became known as a businessman, author and television personality.
Bannatyne built his business career through ventures including care homes, health clubs and hotels. His public profile grew substantially after he joined the investor panel of the UK television programme Dragons' Den.
Clydebank is a town in West Dunbartonshire, west of Glasgow, and has a strong industrial history linked to shipbuilding. It should not be confused with nearby Scottish towns such as Paisley or with Bannatyne's later business locations elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
His birthplace is separate from the Bannatyne Group, the health-club and hotel business associated with his name. The group became one of the best-known parts of his commercial career, but it does not identify where he was born.
