Peter Jones was a founding investor on the first British series of Dragons' Den and founded Phones International Group.
Peter Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor who has been associated with the BBC programme since its first UK series. His business interests have included technology, telecommunications, property and media.
Phones International Group was founded by Jones in 1998. The company became involved in the mobile-phone sector, and its success contributed to his reputation as a technology and communications entrepreneur before and during his television career.
Peter Jones is sometimes confused with other original Dragons because the first panel included several prominent investors. The defining combination here is his role on the inaugural British panel and his founding of Phones International Group. The company should not be confused with a mobile-network operator: it was a communications-focused business group.
