Peter Jones was the only original Dragon's Den investor to remain a regular investor through the show's early panel changes.
Jones joined the original British panel when Dragon's Den launched in 2005. The initial line-up also included Duncan Bannatyne, Deborah Meaden, Theo Paphitis and Rachel Elnaugh, but several of those investors later departed or changed roles on the programme.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor whose business interests have included telecommunications, technology, leisure and media. His continued presence made him one of the most recognisable faces associated with the British version of the format.
This fact concerns the original core panel, not every investor who has appeared across the entire series. Dragon's Den has used guest and replacement dragons over many years, so lists of “the dragons” can vary depending on the series or broadcast period.
