Touker Suleyman joined the British Dragons' Den panel in series 13, first broadcast in 2015.
Suleyman is a British-Turkish entrepreneur and investor whose business interests include fashion, retail and manufacturing. He became a Dragon after building a career that included the acquisition and development of fashion-related businesses.
Series 13 introduced him as part of a changing investor lineup. His arrival followed the departures and rotations that had occurred since the original 2005 panel, illustrating how the programme periodically refreshes its Dragons.
The date is sometimes confused with the joining dates of later investors. Steven Bartlett joined much later, while Tej Lalvani and Nick Jenkins also belong to different panel eras. Suleyman’s debut is tied specifically to series 13 in 2015.
