Which businessman joined Dragon's Den in series 13 alongside fellow new investor Nick Jenkins?

The story behind the answer

Touker Suleyman joined Dragon's Den in series 13 alongside fellow new investor Nick Jenkins.

Suleyman is a British entrepreneur and investor best known for businesses in fashion and retail. His appointment expanded the programme's panel after earlier dragons had departed. Nick Jenkins, the founder associated with Moonpig, also joined the series 13 line-up.

The numbering is important because the British programme had already completed twelve series by this point. Suleyman therefore was not an original dragon, even though he became a familiar face on the BBC show. The first series had featured Peter Jones, Duncan Bannatyne, Rachel Elnaugh, Theo Paphitis and Doug Richard.

Suleyman's business background differs from Jenkins's technology and online-commerce associations. That difference can help distinguish the two investors when identifying the pair who entered the programme together in series 13.
