We were selected as one of the winners of Theo Paphitis' Small Business Sunday (#SBS) for May 17th 2015. This is a huge honour for us, and we have received so much support from the #SBS community on Twitter! We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all, and will be updating our blogs on this site movng forward – but the first one had to be about #SBS!
Our tweet focussed on the husband and wife nature of the business, which has existed for more than 25 years, and also included a picture of our newly designed website (many thanks to Rippleout Marketing – our marketing consultant based in the same small town, very much in the spirit of #SBS!)
Theo Paphitis Re-Tweets Our Tweet
Our success has since been picked up by a number of local business websites and news outlets, including the Business Desk and Pennine Business News, among others. Some of the articles also asked to include a quote from Thea, who owns the company together with husband Jonny – and we have reproduced that below:
“To be recognised by someone as successful in the business world as Theo is such a fantastic achievement for us, particularly as it’s the first time we entered the award. The amount of feedback on our Twitter account from all the other #SBS winners has been phenomenal, and we’ve seen a sudden rise in our number of followers – it’s certainly something I’d recommend to other businesses!”
