Theo retweeted Angela’s message to his followers and as a result, the business www.welovesquirrels.com has 200 new Twitter followers and is processing lots of extra orders for their lovely children’s clothing and baby gifts. They are also profiled on a new website www.theopaphitissbs.com that is exclusive to Small Business Sunday winners.

Angela said, “We’ve only been in business since February 2012 and this is a massive boost. It’s great to have support from Theo because it’s tough trying to raise our profile and Theo has recognised my hard work and helped spread the word about what we do to his following.”
