Which original Dragons' Den investor founded Phones International Group?

The story behind the answer

Peter Jones founded Phones International Group and was an original investor on Dragons' Den.

Phones International Group was a telecommunications business associated with Jones's early entrepreneurial career. The company helped establish his reputation in mobile-phone distribution and related communications businesses.

Jones joined the original Dragons' Den panel when the British programme began in 2005. His interests have included technology, communications, retail and consumer brands, which often shaped the kinds of proposals he examined in the Den.

Phones International Group should not be confused with Jones's later investment company or with the many individual brands in which he has invested. The group is the specific business linked to the question. Jones is also widely recognised for his long association with the programme and for his work as an entrepreneur and investor outside television.
