Which Dragon joined the British Dragon's Den panel in 2015, becoming the first Turkish-Cypriot investor?

The story behind the answer

Touker Suleyman joined the British Dragon's Den panel in 2015 and became its first Turkish-Cypriot investor.

Suleyman is a British-Turkish Cypriot entrepreneur whose business career has focused heavily on fashion and manufacturing. He founded Low Profile Group and owns the fashion retailer Hawes & Curtis. His appointment added a new business background and cultural perspective to the rotating Dragon line-up.

He joined during the programme's thirteenth series, replacing Piers Linney. Suleyman became known for considering consumer products, fashion ventures and businesses with clear routes to retail distribution.

The timing is easy to confuse because the programme has had several investor changes around the same period. James Caan and Tej Lalvani were also later Dragons, but neither is the Turkish-Cypriot investor associated with this 2015 appointment. Suleyman is the precise answer to both clues.
