Which British business did Dragons' Den investor Peter Jones establish in 2005?

The story behind the answer

Peter Jones established the Peter Jones Foundation in 2005.

The foundation is a charitable organisation associated with the entrepreneur and Dragons' Den investor Peter Jones. It focuses on supporting young people through enterprise and education, including programmes intended to develop business skills, confidence and employability.

The date matters because it is also the year Dragons' Den began broadcasting in Britain. Jones was already an established entrepreneur before appearing on the programme, so the foundation was not created as a result of a televised investment. His public profile later helped draw attention to its enterprise-education work.

The foundation should not be confused with Peter Jones's commercial companies. He founded Phones International Group, which operated in the mobile-phone sector, and he has held interests in other businesses. The foundation is the charitable organisation bearing his name, not a trading company or a joint venture formed during a pitch.
