Which business group did former Dragon Duncan Bannatyne establish in the United Kingdom?

Duncan Bannatyne established the Bannatyne Group in the United Kingdom.

The Bannatyne Group operates health clubs, spas and hotels, and developed from Bannatyne's wider entrepreneurial career. He built businesses in several sectors before becoming a household name through television, including care homes and leisure facilities.

Bannatyne joined Dragon's Den as an investor and became known for direct questioning and a focus on whether a proposal could produce a substantial return. His time on the programme helped associate his personal name with business investment, but the Bannatyne Group is a separate corporate entity.

The answer is not The Gym Group, which is another UK fitness company. Nor is it Virgin Group, the multinational business group founded by Richard Branson. The Bannatyne name identifies Duncan Bannatyne's own leisure business.
