Peter Jones remained on the British Dragon's Den panel continuously from the show's launch.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor whose interests have included technology, media, retail and property. He was part of the original investor line-up when the BBC series began in 2005 and continued as a Dragon through subsequent panel changes.
Other original investors left the programme at different times, while new Dragons were added in later series. That makes Jones's continuous presence a useful way to distinguish him from investors who were also associated with the early years but did not remain throughout.
The statement concerns the British television series, not every international version of Dragon's Den or every investor who has appeared in the franchise. It also does not mean Jones made every investment or appeared in every related programme; it identifies his uninterrupted tenure on the main British panel.
