Which Dragon’s Den investor was born in Famagusta, Cyprus?

Touker Suleyman was born in Famagusta, Cyprus.

Suleyman is a British-Turkish-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor who became a Dragon on the BBC programme. Famagusta is a historic port city on the eastern coast of Cyprus, and Suleyman was born there before his family moved to the United Kingdom when he was a child.

He built his commercial career in fashion and retail, becoming associated with Hawes & Curtis and Ghost, among other businesses. That background shaped the kinds of questions he asked in the den, particularly about manufacturing, wholesale supply, branding and retail margins.

The birthplace is sometimes confused with the investor’s nationality or later home. Suleyman is a British businessman, but his family background is connected with Cyprus and his birth took place in Famagusta. This makes the city a more precise answer than simply “Cyprus,” which identifies the country but not the requested birthplace.
