Kineton businesswoman receives awards from Dragon Theo Paphitis
A Kineton woman whose business works with schools across Leamington, Warwick, Rugby and the wider Coventry and Warwickshire area has received an award in person from Dragon’s Den star Theo Paphitis.
Recently, Dr Amy Such, owner of Southam-based Golden Thread Psychology, messaged Theo about her business during the weekly Small Business Sunday (#SBS) event on social media and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet or repost by Theo to his half-a-million X, more than 50,000 Instagram and almost 300,000 LinkedIn followers.
As a weekly winner, she was later invited to #SBS’s annual networking event where she met Theo and received an award from him.
The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 4,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.
Amy said, “Golden Thread Psychology was created through a desire to do things differently in the educational psychology world.
"I wanted to place relationships at the centre of the business and ensure that all of our schools, families, children and young people and colleagues feel valued, listened to and respected.
"Accolades such as this give us such a boost knowing that we’re on the right path and providing a valued service.”
Theo, the chairman of Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue, is a a major champion of small businesses.
He said: “We’re 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 of like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings.
"The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish Golden Thread Psychology 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 the hashtag #SBS.
Six businesses are re‐tweeted every Monday at 8pm and then invited to enter their profile on the new website, attend the annual #SBS networking event and take advantage of the networking opportunities.
