Which entrepreneur joined Dragon's Den as a Dragon in series 13, first broadcast in 2015?

Touker Suleyman joined Dragon's Den as an investor in series 13, first broadcast in 2015.

Suleyman entered the UK panel after the departure of long-serving Dragon Duncan Bannatyne. He brought experience from fashion manufacturing, retail and brand development, giving him a particular interest in products that could be manufactured efficiently and sold through established distribution channels.

His business career includes the acquisition and development of fashion brands, most notably Hawes & Curtis and Ghost. That background explains why his questions often focus on production costs, retail margins, supply chains and whether a product can move beyond a small direct-to-consumer operation.

Suleyman's arrival is sometimes confused with later additions such as Tej Lalvani or Steven Bartlett. The series number provides the clearest distinction: he became a Dragon in series 13, whereas those later investors joined in subsequent changes to the panel. The programme continued to rotate its cast as established investors left and new expertise was introduced.
