Touker Suleyman joined the British series Dragons' Den in 2015 and became known for investments in retail and property.
Suleyman is a British-Turkish entrepreneur whose business career includes fashion, manufacturing and retail. He became a Dragon during a period when the programme was refreshing its investor panel after several departures by earlier members.
His commercial background includes ownership and investment in retail businesses, as well as property interests. On the programme, he evaluated entrepreneurs through questions about margins, distribution, brand positioning and the scale of a proposed opportunity.
Touker Suleyman is sometimes confused with Tej Lalvani because both joined the programme in the modern era. Lalvani entered the panel later, in 2017, whereas Suleyman's Dragons' Den debut was in 2015.
