Peter Jones became the first investor to appear on all 20 series of the BBC programme Dragon's Den.
Jones was part of the original panel when the British series began in 2005 and remained a Dragon as the programme passed its twentieth series. His continuing presence made him the longest-serving member of the investment panel across the show's first two decades.
He is a British entrepreneur whose interests have included telecommunications, technology and consumer businesses. On the programme, Jones is recognised for examining commercial potential, valuation and the route from a promising product to a scalable company.
This is a series-count fact, not a claim that Jones made every deal or appeared in every individual episode. Other well-known Dragons have served for substantial periods, but panel membership has changed repeatedly while Jones remained a constant.
