Which Dragon's Den investor founded the Peter Jones Foundation?

The story behind the answer

Peter Jones founded the Peter Jones Foundation.

The foundation was established by the entrepreneur to support education, enterprise and employability. It is particularly associated with helping young people develop practical business skills and pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.

Jones was part of the original Dragon's Den panel when the British programme launched in 2005. He is also known for founding Phones International Group and for investments in technology, media, retail and consumer businesses. His long-running presence made him one of the programme's most recognisable investors.

The foundation is separate from the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy, although both are connected with enterprise education and the entrepreneur's name. It is also separate from the investments Jones makes on Dragon's Den. The foundation's charitable and educational work is the relevant distinction: a television deal is a private investment, while the foundation supports broader development and opportunity.
