Touker Suleyman joined the UK Dragons' Den panel in series 13 and is known for acquiring and developing the fashion brand Ghost.
Suleyman is a British-Turkish entrepreneur and investor whose career includes fashion retail and manufacturing. His business background made clothing, sourcing, branding and scalable retail models particularly familiar subjects when entrepreneurs pitched to him.
The Ghost connection comes from his acquisition of the British fashion company in 2007. Ghost had become known for distinctive draped clothing and fabrics, and Suleyman later helped oversee its business development. He has also been associated with other retail brands, including Hawes & Curtis and Low Profile Group.
His series-13 arrival occurred several years after the launch panel and after several established dragons had already become household names. That is why identifying both his joining series and his best-known fashion association gives a more precise answer than simply naming a retail investor.
