Small Business Sunday Winner #SBSwinner

A Surrey-based firm has received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis. Mike Power, owner of Power Electrical, tweeted Theo about their business during ‘Small Business Sunday’ and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet or repost by Theo to his half a million Twitter, 50k+ Instagram, and almost 300k LinkedIn followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 4,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK. 2025 marks the 15th anniversary of #SBS Small Business Sunday, since Theo launched it in October 2010.

Business and retail entrepreneur and self-confessed Shopkeeper, Theo re-shared Mike’s message to his combined 800,000 Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram followers, and as a result, Power Electrical has gained 1,400 more followers and extra orders for their electrical services. They are also profiled on the #SBS website (www.theopaphitissbs.com), which is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners.

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 retweet 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 Power Electrical every success.”

Anyone looking for a repost from Theo should post to him on X, LinkedIn, or Instagram about their business on Sunday between 5 PM and 7.30 PM and include the hashtag #SBS. Six lucky businesses are retweeted 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.
