Peter Jones has appeared in every series of the British show Dragon's Den since it began.
Jones was one of the original dragons when the programme launched in 2005. Unlike several other early investors, he remained part of the regular panel through successive changes in the cast.
He is a British entrepreneur and investor whose business interests have included technology, telecommunications, retail and media. That broad commercial background has shaped his questions about scalability, distribution and the practical work needed to grow a company.
The other original dragons did not all remain for the full run. Duncan Bannatyne, Theo Paphitis, Rachel Elnaugh and Simon Woodroffe each left the regular lineup at different points. This makes Jones's continuous presence a distinctive fact about the British edition.
