Who presented the British Dragon's Den from its launch until 2023?

Evan Davis presented the British Dragon's Den from its launch until 2023.

Davis was the programme's original presenter and remained associated with it for nearly two decades. He introduced entrepreneurs, explained the investment proposals and helped maintain the flow of the pitches while the dragons questioned the founders.

Before and alongside his work on the programme, Davis became known as a BBC journalist, broadcaster and economics specialist. His presenting style kept attention on the business information while allowing the dragons' negotiations to provide the drama.

The year 2023 marks the end of his long presenting period on Dragon's Den. It should not be confused with the dates when individual dragons departed or joined, since the presenter and the investor panel changed on separate schedules.
