Which Dragon's Den investor joined the British panel in 2015, beginning with series 13?
Answer
Touker Suleyman
Touker Suleyman joined the British Dragon's Den panel in 2015, beginning with series 13.
Suleyman is a British-Turkish Cypriot entrepreneur and investor whose business interests have included fashion and retail. His appointment added another experienced operator to the panel after the programme’s earlier investor line-up had changed.
He is particularly associated with the fashion company Hawes & Curtis and with Ghost, the British clothing brand. That background influenced the kinds of retail, clothing and consumer-product pitches for which he could offer specialist insight.
The series number matters because several later Dragons joined within a short period. Tej Lalvani arrived in series 15, while Sara Davies joined in series 17. Suleyman’s defining timeline is therefore series 13, which aired in 2015.
