Small Business Sunday WINNER

Badge with text: #SBS Official Winner Dressage AnywhereDressage Anywhere has received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis.

Last week, we tweeted Theo about our business during Small Business Sunday and we were one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet by Theo to his near half a million Twitter followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 3,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.

Business and retail entrepreneur and self-confessed Shopkeeper, Theo re‐tweeted our message to his almost 500,000 followers and as a result, we've had a very busy morning reacting and responding to messages of support and congratulations! We're also profiled on the #SBS website which is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners.

Ruth said, 'I used to tweet Theo every week many years ago and just started a fresh campaign to get his support. So to have been one of the winners on our first attempt is just fantastic. I'm really honoured to have received this support from Theo and can't wait to get more involved in the #SBS events and community.' 

The winning tweet from Dressage Anywhere to Theo

Small business champion and Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue Chairman, Theo Paphitis, said: 'We are thrilled to welcome new #SBS members every week and highlight just how important it is to support our small businesses here in the UK. My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish Dressage Anywhere every success.'

Anyone looking for a re‐tweet from Theo should tweet him about their business on Sunday between 5 PM and 7.30 PM and include the hashtag #SBS. Six lucky businesses are re‐tweeted every Monday at 8 PM and then invited to enter their profile on the new website, attend the annual #SBS networking event and take advantage of the networking opportunities.
