Which Dragon was the founder of the Bannatyne Group on the British programme Dragon's Den?

The story behind the answer

Duncan Bannatyne was the founder of the Bannatyne Group on the British programme Dragon's Den.

Duncan Bannatyne is a Scottish entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist who built the Bannatyne Group, a business associated especially with health clubs, spas, and hotels. He became one of the original Dragons on the British version of the programme.

His business career began with ventures including an ice-cream business, followed by expansion into care homes and leisure. The health-club and hotel group became the enterprise most closely linked with his public identity.

The other names in the answer choices were also associated with the programme or British entrepreneurship, which makes this a useful distinction. John Caudwell was linked with Phones 4u, Theo Paphitis built businesses including Ryman, and Peter Jones has interests spanning technology and media. Bannatyne is the Dragon whose name is directly attached to the Bannatyne Group.
