Peter Jones has appeared continuously on the British Dragon's Den panel since the show began.
Jones was part of the original investor lineup when the BBC programme launched in 2005. He is known for investments and business interests across technology, media, retail and consumer products, and he became a defining presence in the series.
Several other original Dragons later left the programme, including Duncan Bannatyne, Theo Paphitis, Rachel Elnaugh and Doug Richard. Jones therefore stands out as the only original panel member to remain a regular Dragon throughout the main British run.
This fact is sometimes confused with the question of who has been a Dragon for the longest total period in every international version. The answer here concerns the British programme and its continuous panel history.
