A Liss‐based firm has received a business boost from former Dragons’ Den star Theo Paphitis.

Keith Budden, managing director of Ensurety, posted a message to Theo about his business during ‘Small Business Sunday’.

He was one of six weekly winners to gain a repost by Theo to his half a million X, 50k+ Instagram and almost 300k LinkedIn followers.

The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has more than 4,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK. This year marks the 15th anniversary of #SBS Small Business Sunday.

Keith said: Economic uncertainties have meant the last year has been tough at times so this award has come at just the right time. We believe that GDPR should be fun, because if it’s fun it gets done, if it’s a bore it’s a chore. It is fantastic to see our unique approach recognised and it is great to have support from Theo who has recognised our hard work and helped spread the word about what we do.”

As a result of sharing Keith’s message, the Ensurety website has 150 more followers and extra orders for their GDPR Training and Consultancy Services. They are also profiled on the #SBS website that is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners.

Theo commented: “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.

“I wish Ensurety every success.”

Anyone looking for a re‐post from Theo should post to him on X, LinkedIn or Instagram about their business on Sunday between 5pm and 7.30pm and include #SBS.
