Which Dragon's Den investor founded the interior-design brand Kelly Hoppen Ltd?

The story behind the answer

Kelly Hoppen founded the interior-design brand Kelly Hoppen Ltd.

Kelly Hoppen is a British interior designer whose work is associated with a restrained style, neutral colours, clean lines and a blend of Eastern and Western design influences. Kelly Hoppen Ltd was the business through which her design work and product collaborations were developed and marketed.

Her role on Dragon's Den connected an established design professional with the programme's investment format. This is different from Dragons whose primary backgrounds were retail, technology or leisure. Hoppen brought expertise in interiors, branding and high-end consumer products.

The company name is not a separate Dragon: it is the eponymous brand founded by Hoppen. That distinction matters because the programme has featured both investors and entrepreneurs with businesses named after their founders.
