Touker Suleyman joined Dragon's Den in 2015 and became known for investing in consumer brands and retail businesses.
Suleyman is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor with major interests in fashion, manufacturing and retail. He joined the BBC programme during its thirteenth series, entering a panel that had already undergone several changes since the original Dragons appeared in 2005.
His commercial experience is closely connected with the fashion and clothing sector. That background gives him particular interest in products with clear branding, reliable supply chains, realistic margins and a route into shops or online retail. As with every Dragon, an on-screen offer remains subject to due diligence after filming.
Touker Suleyman is easily confused with Tej Lalvani because both joined after the programme's original era. Lalvani joined later, in 2017, and is associated with Vitabiotics. Piers Linney and James Caan were also later Dragons, but neither is the 2015 recruit identified here.
