Meeting with a dragon

I am a self-employed proofreader and I attended an #sbs winners event at Edgbaston today. #sbs is Small Business Sunday - you tweet Theo Paphitis details about your business on a Sunday evening and then he re-tweets you to his 200,000+ followers - I was lucky enough to win a re-tweet in August 2011. It is great for spreading the word about your business and has created a wonderful community of both #sbs winners and those who try every week to win.

We had a drinks reception and then Theo chatted to us for a good few hours about why he set #sbs up, a new website for winners and he listened to our ideas and answered questions. Then all the winners had a chance to get a picture of Theo presenting us with our certificates. I obviously can't use my picture today, as I didn't take it, but if you are interested you can see it here.

As I was leaving, Theo's rather ostentatious chrome Maybach was parked outside. It must be a nightmare to keep clean!
