Ten takeaways from Theo Paphitis' Small Business Sunday event 2024


Listen Later

Each year Theo Paphitis puts on his Small Business Sunday winner's event in Birmingham to celebrate small businesses and give them a boost.

It's a brilliantly inspiring day where Theo and his panel of experts give so much encouragement and line up fabulous speakers to educate and inspire you.

This year, we had talks on using AI in your marketing from Google and a spotlight session from Susan Bonnar, founder of The British Craft House and a former SBS winner.

NatWest chaired a panel discussion with success stories from their Accelerator program Maxine Laceby, founder of Absolute Collagen, Sanjay Agarwal, founder of Spice Kitchen and Shalom Lloyd from Naturally Tiwa skincare.

The fireside chat this year was Stacey Solomon who brought the house down, and was mobbed by fans bringing her gifts and sharing how she'd transformed their businesses with her endorsements.

In this podcast episode, I'm sharing my ten takeaways from the event.
