Kelly Hoppen joined the regular panel of Britain's Dragon's Den in 2013.
Hoppen is an interior designer and entrepreneur known for a design style built around neutral colours, clean lines and a blend of eastern and western influences. Her professional background gave the panel a perspective rooted in design, interiors and luxury consumer products.
She joined the programme during its later development rather than at the 2005 launch. This makes the year different from the dates associated with original Dragons and with other later appointments. Hoppen's time on the panel was relatively brief compared with several long-serving investors.
The year 2013 is also sometimes mixed up with the joining dates of other Dragons. The question refers specifically to Hoppen's arrival as a regular investor on the British television series, not to a guest appearance or to a business launch in her design career.
