Birmingham-based business owner celebrating award success

Emma was one of six weekly winners of ‘Small Business Sunday’ to gain a repost by Theo to his over half a million X and Instagram followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 4,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.

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.”

Anyone looking to take part should post to Theo on X, Instagram or LinkedIn between 5 PM and 7.30 PM and include the hashtag #SBS. All #SBS winners are invited to attend an annual event at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham.

Emma said, “I am really looking forward to attending the event as a winner, after being fortunate to attend as a guest many times. It will be great to catch up with other business owners, make new connections and meet Theo for my certificate presentation.

Business awards are a great way to boost confidence and visibility. I help small business owners to elevate their business by building an awards strategy that will maximise their opportunities and success. I love helping people to recognise and celebrate their achievements.”
