Theo has recognised all the hard work and helped spread the word about what the business is about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Small business champion and Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue Chairman, Theo Paphitis, said: \u201cWe 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.\u00a0 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 and Shop #SBS will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish BIGPAWS.CO every success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anyone looking for a re\u2010tweet 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\u2010tweeted 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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BP-3a-hires.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BP-3a-hires.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BP-3a-hires-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BP-3a-hires-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small business start-up, BIGPAWS.CO, has received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis.
