Which BBC Dragons' Den investor founded the care-home company Quality Care Homes?

Duncan Bannatyne founded the care-home company Quality Care Homes before becoming a BBC Dragons' Den investor.

Bannatyne entered the care sector in the 1980s, establishing Quality Care Homes and building a group of residential care businesses. This venture helped establish the foundation of the Bannatyne business empire.

He later expanded into health clubs, hotels and spas. His fitness interests led to the creation of Bannatyne Fitness, which became one of the most recognisable businesses connected with his name.

Bannatyne joined Dragons' Den in the programme's second series. Viewers often associate him primarily with gyms because of the later Bannatyne chain, but his earlier care-home company was a major step in his business career.
