In August 2018, Dunkerton donated £1 million to People's Vote, a campaign group calling for a public vote on the final Brexit deal between the UK and the European Union.

Dunkerton lives in Cheltenham. In February 2016, he sold just under £50 million of shares to fund his divorce settlement with his wife, Charlotte Abbot. He has two children, one stepdaughter and one daughter.

In 2015, Dunkerton stepped down as chief executive of Superdry however remained on the board taking on the role of Brand Founder and Product Development Director.

In 2014, Dunkerton took control of his family's cider company, and brought in business partner Jeremy Benson (aka Bean), to work alongside his father Ivor, developing his palate and learning the craft of organic cider and perry making.

In 2010, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange at a value for £400 million. As of January 2018, the company has more than 500 stores in 40 countries.

In 2003, Dunkerton and co-founder James Holder launched fashion brand Superdry. The idea for the company came from a trip to Japan. A number of celebrities, including David Beckham, Leonardo DiCaprio and Idris Elba were spotted wearing the label.

In the early 1990s, Dunkerton stood three times as a Labour Party candidate in the Cheltenham Borough Council elections. He stood in the St. Peter's ward in 1990, and in the Park ward in 1991 and 1992.
