Simply Bows and Chair Covers has this week received yet another accolade after being chosen as one of Theo Paphitis’s top small
businesses in his ‘Small Business Sunday’ challenge.
Each Sunday between 5pm and 7.30pm Theo, best known for appearing on
the BBC’s Dragon’s Den series and being Chairman of Ryman Stationary,
asks his quarter of a million followers on Twitter to send him details
of their small businesses and why they deserve to be named as one of his
top six of the week.
Using the hash-tag #SBS (Small Business Sunday) thousands of
businesses contact Theo each week which he then reviews and chooses who
he deems to be the best. Winners are then named via his Twitter account
on Monday evening and added to his successful website, http://theopaphitissbs.com/ .
This week (commencing 22.10.12,) Simply Bows and Chair Covers is one of
the six chosen businesses.
Simply Bows and Chair Covers was established four years ago by North
East-based entrepreneur, Sarah Pittendrigh, with the franchise operation
launching in 2010. In just under two years, the company has set up 11
franchises in areas including Harrogate, Aberdeen, Cumbria, Dundee,Berkshireand
around the North East.
Speaking about Theo Paphitis’s endorsement, Sarah said: “I was
thrilled that Theo chose our company- what a fabulous seal of approval!
I’ve had hundreds of messages from people all over the UK congratulating
me and it really does provide a business boost- not only in the number
of Twitter followers, but it has already also resulted in new
enquiries.”
Next month (November), Sarah will represent the North East region in
the finals of the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) Chamber Awards 2012
in the Most Promising New Business category thanks to her ongoing
success and growth over a short period of time. Good luck!! To see how Sarah and the Simply Bows team get on keep an eye on our blog for more information :)
