Touker Suleyman joined the BBC television show Dragon's Den in 2015 during its thirteenth series.
Suleyman is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor whose business career is strongly associated with fashion, retail and manufacturing. His experience in clothing and supply chains gave him a practical viewpoint when entrepreneurs presented consumer products, brands and retail concepts.
He joined the panel at a time when the programme was continuing its regular cycle of Dragon changes. The show does not use a permanently fixed group: some investors serve for many years, while others join for shorter periods or appear as guest Dragons. Suleyman became a familiar recurring member of the modern panel.
The year helps distinguish him from later additions. Tej Lalvani joined in 2017, while Steven Bartlett joined in 2023. Nick Jenkins also appeared as a Dragon, but his period on the programme began before Suleyman's 2015 arrival.
