A Winchester business has been boosted by a former BBC ‘Dragon’.
Audio visual company Soundbite Productions saw a huge increase in web traffic and Twitter followers after business mogul Theo Paphitis, who starred in BBC2’s Dragons' Den, re-tweeted a message from Soundbite boss Stephen Lucas last Sunday.
It was part of Mr Paphitis’ weekly ‘Small Business Sunday’ event where he encourages businesses to contact him and re-tweets six messages to his 326,000 followers.
Mr Lucas said: “We are a small business and I still work from home but with the power of the Internet, and help from an entrepreneur like Theo, it is enabling me to make a big impact.”
