Touker Suleyman first joined the UK Dragons' Den investor panel in 2015.
Suleyman became a dragon in the thirteenth series of the British programme. He is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor whose business career has included fashion, retail and manufacturing. His arrival added another investor with substantial experience in clothing and consumer brands.
The year is sometimes misremembered because Dragons' Den changes its panel frequently and series are broadcast across different parts of the television calendar. Suleyman’s debut belongs to series 13, which was broadcast in 2015 and 2016, but he first joined the panel in 2015.
He is associated with the acquisition and development of clothing businesses, including Hawes & Curtis. His investment profile therefore differs from that of technology-focused entrepreneurs who have also appeared in the den.
