A Boost from Theo Paphitis: We are SBS Winners!

We are thrilled to announce that Peace Lily Gifts has received a significant boost from renowned retail entrepreneur Theo Paphitis!

At the weekend, during 'Small Business Sunday,' our very own Dr. Dele Kehn-Alafun shared a comment about Peace Lily Gifts with Theo and was selected as one of six weekly winners out of all the entries. This fantastic acknowledgment led to Theo sharing our business with his half a million followers on Twitter, over 50,000 on Instagram, and almost 300,000 on LinkedIn.

Theo Paphitis launched the #SBS Small Business Sunday initiative in October 2010 to support small businesses across the UK. Now celebrating its 15th anniversary, #SBS has over 4,000 winners. We are proud to join this esteemed supportive group and gain the exposure from being featured on the #SBS website.

Dr. Dele Kehn-Alafun said, “When you are a founder, most days resemble a marathon, and each night is just another chance to build. Winning SBS is a fantastic boost. I’m honoured and grateful to receive this recognition for all the hard work from Theo Paphitis. His incredible support really helps spread the word about Peace Lily Gifts to a wider audience.”

Theo Paphitis, a champion for small businesses and Chairman of Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas, and Boux Avenue, shared, “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 re-tweet 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 Peace Lily Gifts every success.”

For any small business owner looking to gain similar recognition, you can participate by posting about your business on X, LinkedIn, or Instagram every Sunday between 5 PM and 7:30 PM with the hashtag #SBS. Six lucky businesses will be re-tweeted every Monday at 8 PM and invited to enter their profile on the #SBS website, attend the annual #SBS networking event, and enjoy numerous networking opportunities.

Thank you for your continued support of Peace Lily Gifts. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing our journey of providing you with exceptional, local handcrafted products.
