Peter Jones first appeared as a Dragon on the British series Dragon’s Den in 2005.
Jones was part of the original investor lineup when the British adaptation began. His background spans technology, telecommunications, media and consumer businesses, making him one of the programme’s most commercially versatile investors.
He became the longest-serving original Dragon and remained a central figure as the panel changed around him. His tall stature and formal style also made him visually distinctive among the investors.
The year 2005 refers to Jones’s debut on the British programme, not the launch date of every business in his portfolio. It is also distinct from the year the original Japanese format first appeared and from dates connected with later Dragons joining the panel.
