Touker Suleyman joined the British series Dragons' Den in 2015 and founded the fashion retailer Hawes & Curtis.
Suleyman is a British-Turkish entrepreneur and investor whose business interests include fashion and retail. He acquired Hawes & Curtis in 2002 and helped develop the historic shirtmaker into a modern retail brand with stores and online sales.
He joined Dragons' Den for the thirteenth series, becoming part of a changing panel of investors. On the programme, he is known for examining margins, manufacturing, distribution and the practical details behind a proposed business.
Hawes & Curtis was established in 1913 and has a long association with formal shirts and menswear. Suleyman also became associated with the fashion brand Ghost, which he acquired in 2006. These businesses explain why his investment interests on the show often include consumer products and retail.
