As you recall I was chosen as a weekly award winner of Small Business Sunday #SBS by Theo Paphitis (of Dragons den) back in March 2021. Every year Theo holds a huge conference at the ICC in Birmingham where all the winners meet to hear inspirational speakers, for not working & to meet Theo himself. Here I am collecting my official winner’s certificate on Friday 25th February which is now framed in my studio.
