Which original Dragons' Den investor was associated with the retail group Ryman?

Theo Paphitis was associated with the retail group Ryman.

Paphitis is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur whose business career included ownership and leadership connected with Ryman, the stationery and office-supplies retailer. He became widely recognised as one of the original investors on the UK series Dragons' Den.

His retail background was relevant to many pitches involving products, distribution and the realities of getting goods into shops. Like the other dragons, he evaluated proposals by questioning sales performance, margins, valuation and the amount of equity offered.

Ryman can be confused with other companies linked to Dragons' Den investors because the original panel included entrepreneurs from retail, property, technology and leisure. The question asks for the investor associated with this stationery retailer, which identifies Paphitis rather than another original dragon.
