Peter Jones remained on the BBC series Dragon's Den continuously from its 2005 launch.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor who has been part of the programme since its first series. He became one of the show's defining Dragons, known for assessing products, brands and business models while negotiating valuation and ownership percentages.
The original panel also included Duncan Bannatyne, Doug Richard, Simon Woodroffe and Rachel Elnaugh. Those investors did not all remain throughout the programme's subsequent run, so references to the original Dragons can create confusion when describing the long-term panel.
Jones's business interests have included consumer technology, telecommunications, leisure and property. His continued presence gives the programme a link to its launch-era format even as later series introduced many different investors.
