Peter Jones has appeared as an investor since the first UK series of Dragon's Den.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor who was part of the original Dragon's Den panel when the UK programme began in 2005. His business interests have included telecommunications, technology, retail and property, giving him a broad range of experience to draw on during pitches.
He is notable for being the only original investor to remain a regular dragon across the programme's long run. That continuity makes him one of the show's defining figures and distinguishes him from investors who joined later or left after particular series.
The programme's investor line-up has changed repeatedly, so viewers can easily mistake later regulars for original dragons. Peter Jones, however, was present from the start, alongside the first-generation panel members who helped establish the show's format in Britain.
