Touker Suleyman joined the regular investor panel of the UK programme Dragon's Den in 2015.
Suleyman became a Dragon in the thirteenth series, joining the programme after the departure of several earlier investors. He is an entrepreneur and investor whose business career is strongly associated with fashion, clothing manufacture and retail.
His companies have included the fashion businesses Hawes & Curtis and Ghost. That background gives him particular experience in product design, sourcing, branding, wholesale relationships and high-street retail—all areas frequently raised by entrepreneurs pitching consumer products.
Suleyman is distinct from Tej Lalvani, who joined the panel in the same broad period, and from Steven Bartlett, who arrived later. The series number and year are useful markers because the programme's investor line-up changed repeatedly during the 2010s.
