BBC Two has unveiled its youngest ever Dragon as a replacement for Jenny Campbell in the new series of Dragons’ Den.
Entrepreneur Sara Davies, the 35-year-old founder of worldwide crafting company Crafter’s Companion, will begin filming the 17th series this spring and air on BBC Two later this summer.
She replaces Jenny Campbell, who stood down from the programme in February, and will join Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Tej Lalvani and Touker Suleyman.
Originally from County Durham, Davies set up Crafter’s Companion 13 years ago from her bedroom while still at university.
The business turns over £34 million a year and employs more than 190 staff in UK, the US and across Europe. Three years ago she was recognised for services to the economy with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
