About Theo:

Theo ran the tuck shop at school, but the man famed for his one liners in the Den would rather pass a kidney stone than spend his life making tuppence on fudge cake.

Theo's career to date

Born in Cyprus, Theo came to England when he was six and was running the tuck shop at his north London school at 15. Starting out as tea boy at a City insurance broker, he found he had a flair for retail as a shop assistant at Watches of Switzerland.

Theo returned to the insurance industry in sales at 20, where he discovered his natural ability of pointing out the obvious and applying common sense (which is not common). In no time he was helping businesses in difficulty and this soon became a full time role.

Theo has turned stationers Ryman and Partners, and lingerie chains Contessa and La Senza into successful and profitable retail businesses.

He now heads up a 350 store chain, with a group turnover approaching £250m.

His latest ventures include Red Letter Days, the company he salvaged out of administration with fellow Dragon Peter Jones.

Theo spent eight years as Chairman of Milwall FC, taking it out of administration, into the Championship and as far as the EUFA cup, via an FA Cup Final.

In the Den Theo's childrens' inheritance is important to him - he has five children and two grandchildren, and lives with his wife in Surrey.

About Peter:

Peter played an ace when he founded his tennis academy at 16 and has rarely double faulted since.

Peter's career to date

Peter's entrepreneurial journey started early when, at the age of 16, he founded a tennis academy. His career then took a technical curve, setting up a computer business and later a computer support company.

At the age of 28, Peter joined corporate giant Siemens Nixdorf and ran its computer business in the UK. In 1998 he founded Phones International Group, a telecommunications firm that now generates revenues in excess of £200m.

His business interests range from telecoms, leisure, publishing as well as TV and media. Peter has won many national awards, including Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year in 2001. Now in his early forties, Peter is considered to be one of the UK’s leading young businessmen.

The Peter Jones Foundation was established in 2005, to offer funding and support to underprivileged children in the UK.

About James:

James began in business working out of a room the size of a shoebox on Pall Mall and has been creating, building, and selling businesses ever since.

James's career to date

James Caan has been creating, building and selling businesses for over 20 years. In 1985, he set up the Alexander Mann Group, one of the UK's leading HR outsourcing companies, and achieved a turnover of £130m before selling it to a private equity firm in 2002.

He also co-founded an executive headhunting firm with partner Doug Bougie, which they successfully expanded globally through its Humana International brand, growing to over 147 offices across 30 countries before it was bought by a New York-listed company.

A graduate of Harvard Business School's prestigious Advanced Management Programme, in 2003 Caan was named PricewaterhouseCoopers' Entrepreneur of the Year.

In 2001 he won the Enterprise of the Year Award for his outstanding business success and was recently a Resident Entrepreneur Mentor for MBA students at London Business School

In 2006, the James Caan Foundation was set up to help children in both the western and developing world.

About Duncan:

This former king of the 99s made money from an ice cream van before moving on to nursing homes and health clubs.

Duncan's career to date

A poverty-stricken childhood steeled Duncan's drive to make his fortune from an early age. After his naval career, which included a spell in military prison, Duncan drifted from job to job ending up in Jersey. It was here that Duncan made the decision to turn his life around.

He began his entrepreneurial life by trading in cars, but it was with an ice cream van purchased for £450 that he changed the course of his life. With 'Duncan's Super Ices', he set out to become the king of the 99 and eventually sold the business for £28,000, founding a nursing home business instead.

He sold his nursing home business for £46 million in 1996. During the last 10 years has expanded into health clubs with the Bannatyne's chain to his name, and also owns bars, hotels and property. Bannatyne's is now the largest independent chain of health clubs in the UK.

Quoted on The Sunday Times 2008 Rich List as having wealth to the tune of £310m, Duncan holds an OBE and was recently awarded an honorary Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) from Glasgow Caledonian University for services to business and charity.

A Dragon in the Den since the first series, he recently appeared on a BBC Two programme Duncan Bannatyne Takes On Tobacco when he visited Africa to investigate the tactics used by big tobacco companies in selling cigarettes to children.

Duncan has six children and he and his family have properties in England and France.

About Deborah

Deborah launched her own glass and ceramics export company straight out of business college and has since made her name in the holiday park business.

Deborah's career to date

Dissatisfied with the franchise model, Deborah sold her share to her business partner. With several successful businesses in the leisure and retail sector under her belt, she joined her family's business.

Starting out on the shop floor, Deborah eventually became Managing Director of her family's holiday park business, Weststar Holidays. Deborah went on to acquire the major shareholding in a management buyout, later selling the company in a deal worth £33m whilst retaining a 23% stake.

Deborah still retained an active role at Weststar, but began to devote more time to finding good investment opportunities, including those she found on Dragons' Den, which she joined from Series Three.

In August 2007, she sold her remaining stake in Weststar Holidays for £83m, before making her first investment in a market research company, reflecting her interest and experience in marketing, brands and communications.

Deborah lives in Somerset with husband Paul, Friday the cat, two dogs, five horses, eleven chickens and four ducks.
