Which Dragon's Den investor joined the British panel in series 11?
Answer
Kelly Hoppen
Answer
Kelly Hoppen
Kelly Hoppen joined the British Dragon's Den panel in series 11.
The designer appeared as a Dragon in 2013, bringing a background in interior design and a large personal brand to the investment panel. Hoppen was known for her neutral, minimalist design style and had worked on residential, commercial and transport-related interiors before joining the programme.
Her arrival followed several changes to the lineup during Dragon's Den's first decade. It is easy to confuse her with later female investors, including Sarah Willingham, Jenny Campbell and Sara Davies, because the programme introduced several Dragons across successive series.
A television appearance does not necessarily mean that every proposed deal completed. As with other Dragon's Den investments, agreements shown in the den may depend on checks of accounts, ownership, intellectual property and trading performance after filming. Hoppen's series-11 debut is the stable identification point for this question.
