Bramhall Bakery gets a Twitter Boost from Theo Paphitis A new Stockport‐based artisan bakery received a business boost from TV Dragons’ Den star Theo Paphitis.
On Sunday, Joanne Peters of Bramhall Bakery, tweeted Theo about her business during ‘Small Business Sunday’, an initiative set up by Theo that runs weekly. Theo re‐tweeted Joanne’s message (below) to over 300,000 followers and as a result, the business (www.bramhallbakery.co.uk) has over 100 more followers in just a few hours.
They are also profiled on a new website (www.theopaphitissbs.com) that is exclusive to Small Business Sunday winners.
Joanne said, “We are a small start up business with big ideas about building an innovative business around high quality bread. We have been in business for 10 months and have been going from strength to strength. This boost from Theo will help us move the business to the next level.”
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. This is done free of charge and the new website is sponsored by Ryman Stationery, where Theo is Chairman.
