Which Dragon's Den investor became a permanent Dragon after joining the panel in 2015?

The story behind the answer

Touker Suleyman became a permanent Dragon after joining the Dragon's Den panel in 2015.

Suleyman is a British-Turkish Cypriot entrepreneur whose business career includes fashion retail and manufacturing. He is associated with brands including Hawes & Curtis and Ghost, and his experience spans importing, clothing production, retail and brand development.

He joined the regular panel for the fourteenth series, replacing earlier Dragons and bringing a background in consumer products and retail. On the programme, he has considered pitches involving clothing, food, technology and services.

The word permanent distinguishes Suleyman's regular role from guest or occasional Dragons who appear for only part of a series. It also avoids confusion with investors such as Nick Jenkins, who joined later and was associated with online retail and subscription businesses.
