Which investor joined Dragons' Den in 2015 after becoming known for businesses including Ghost and Hawes & Curtis?

The story behind the answer

Touker Suleyman joined Dragons' Den in 2015 after becoming known for businesses including Ghost and Hawes & Curtis.

Touker Suleyman is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor. He built a career in fashion and retail, becoming associated with the clothing label Ghost and later acquiring Hawes & Curtis, the British shirtmaker.

He joined the Dragons' Den panel in 2015, bringing a background different from investors primarily identified with technology or hospitality. His on-screen interests have included consumer products, retail brands, manufacturing and companies with a clear route to sales.

The names of later dragons can be easy to mix up because the panel has changed repeatedly. Tej Lalvani joined in 2017, while Nick Jenkins joined in 2015 alongside the programme's wider panel refresh. Suleyman's fashion-retail history, especially his connection with Ghost and Hawes & Curtis, provides a useful way to identify him accurately.
