Street’s Craft Creations Owner Shelley Street receiving her Small Business Sunday award from Theo Paphitis
A Hertfordshire based silversmith has received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis.
Back in March 2020, Shelley Street, Owner of Street’s Craft Creations tweeted Theo about her business during ‘Small Business Sunday’ and was 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.
Due to the pandemic the annual winner’s event was put on hold until this year. On Friday 25thFebruary 2022 Shelley travelled to the ICC in Birmingham to attend the event and receive her award from Theo Paphitis.
Shelley said, to have the support from Theo and the other SBS winners is amazing. I won just as we went into the first lockdown, I had only been in business for a year at that point. To have a network of people around to chat to, network with and support during that time has been invaluable.
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 Street’s Craft Creations 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.
