Small Business Sunday Event!

Last Friday we had the pleasure of going up to the ICC in Birmingham for the annual #SBS event with Theo Paphitis. Theo is best known for appearing on BBC Two's Dragons Den, with other entrepreneurs and investors, and he started Small Business Sunday, shortened to SBS in 2010 as a Twitter initiative for small businesses.

Small businesses tweet Theo on Sunday evening and he chooses 6 lucky winners who he retweets on a Monday night. Ellie Ellie won an #SBS retweet from Theo in 2012 and we continue to tweet and communicate with other winners as the SBS family expands. 

We had an absolutely brilliant day last Friday at the event, it was great to meet so many other small business owners and fellow winners. 

Theo Paphitis was introduced and opened the day with a look at the new SBS website, which is a great platform for all winners to communicate and network together. 

There was also a question time panel which was very interesting, with entrepreneurs from Gandy's, Made.com and St Tropez passing on their business wisdom to all of us. 

If you would like to find out more information about SBS, take a look at the brand new website!
