Which businessman joined Dragon's Den as a Dragon in 2015, replacing Piers Linney?
Answer
Touker Suleyman
Touker Suleyman joined Dragon's Den as a Dragon in 2015, replacing Piers Linney.
Suleyman is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor known especially for businesses in fashion, retail and manufacturing. His appointment added another Dragon with experience in consumer products and brand development to the BBC panel.
Piers Linney had joined the programme earlier and left before Suleyman's arrival. The sequence matters because several Dragons have occupied the same seat across different series, making panel membership easy to mix up.
Suleyman's business interests have included the fashion company Hawes & Curtis and the shirt brand Ghost. On Dragon's Den, he evaluated pitches across sectors including retail, technology and consumer goods, bringing a commercially focused perspective to negotiations.
