A Wilsden company has received a boost thanks to ‘Dragon’ Theo Paphitis.

Squashed Pixel Ltd owners Tom and Claire Gatenby tweeted the Dragons’ Den star during his weekly ‘Small Business Sunday’, in which he re-tweets selected businesses’ messages and includes an online profile of the firm.

The Squashed Pixel tweet subsequently went to Mr Paphitis’ 350,000 followers.

As a result, the web design and digital marketing company received more than 100 more followers within 24 hours, plus requests for quotes from across the UK.

And its profile has appeared at the theopaphitissbs.com website.

Mr Gatenby said: “To have received this type of support from such an influential person like Theo Paphitis is an incredible honour.”
