Which British entrepreneur joined Dragon's Den as a dragon in 2015, replacing Piers Linney?

The story behind the answer

Touker Suleyman joined Dragon's Den as a dragon in 2015, replacing Piers Linney.

Suleyman is a British-Turkish-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor best known for businesses in fashion, retail and manufacturing. He joined the Dragon's Den panel for its thirteenth series, taking the place previously held by Piers Linney.

His business career included involvement with the clothing company Hawes & Curtis and the fashion label Ghost. That background made him particularly associated with retail margins, product sourcing and the practical challenges of building consumer brands.

Dragon's Den has had several panel changes in a short period, which makes replacement questions easy to mix up. Suleyman's appointment belongs to 2015 and specifically followed Linney's departure; it was not the later arrival of Jenny Campbell or the earlier appointment of Nick Jenkins.
