Which Dragon joined the British Dragons' Den panel in 2015, replacing Piers Linney?

The story behind the answer

Touker Suleyman joined the British Dragons' Den panel in 2015, replacing Piers Linney.

Suleyman is a British-Cypriot businessman and investor whose career includes fashion manufacturing and retail. He became particularly associated with the fashion brand Hawes & Curtis and with Ghost, a British clothing label. His commercial background gave him experience in sourcing, production, branding and retail operations.

He joined Dragons' Den for series 13, taking a seat previously occupied by Piers Linney. On the programme, Suleyman has often assessed products through the practical questions of margins, manufacturing, distribution and retail scale.

The date can be confused with the arrivals of other later Dragons, including Jenny Campbell, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett. Those appointments happened in different series. Suleyman's panel debut was in 2015, making him one of the established modern-era Dragons rather than an original investor.
