In which year did Sara Davies first join the investor panel of the British television programme Dragons' Den?

The story behind the answer

Sara Davies first joined the investor panel of the British television programme Dragons' Den in 2019.

Davies is a British businesswoman and entrepreneur who founded Crafter's Companion, a company serving the craft and papercraft market. Her business experience made her a natural addition to the programme's panel, where entrepreneurs seek investment and expertise from the dragons.

She joined Dragons' Den for its seventeenth series in 2019. Her arrival followed Jenny Campbell's departure from the panel and added another female investor with experience of building a product-focused company.

The date is sometimes mixed up with Davies's business milestones, particularly the 2005 founding of Crafter's Companion. Those are separate events: her company began many years before she became a television investor. Davies has also appeared in other British television programmes, including Strictly Come Dancing, but those appearances did not mark her arrival on Dragons' Den.
