Which Dragon's Den investor made the £50,000 offer for Levi Roots's Reggae Reggae Sauce alongside Richard Farleigh?

The story behind the answer

Peter Jones made the £50,000 offer for Levi Roots's Reggae Reggae Sauce alongside Richard Farleigh.

Levi Roots presented the sauce on Dragon's Den in 2007. Jones and Farleigh jointly offered £50,000 for 40% of the business, subject to the usual conditions associated with a televised investment proposal.

The pitch became especially memorable because Roots used music and performance as part of his presentation. The sauce then developed into a prominent commercial brand, making the segment a frequently cited example of a Dragon's Den business gaining substantial visibility after appearing on the programme.

The deal is often simplified in summaries as “Levi Roots got investment from Peter Jones.” That is incomplete: Richard Farleigh was also part of the on-screen offer. The specific answer here is Jones, the co-investor named alongside Farleigh.
