Crossgar Tidying Time business owner gets seal of approval from Dragons’ Den’s Theo

8 March 2023

A CROSSGAR woman who takes the clutter out of people’s lives has been given the seal of approval by TV business entrepreneur Theo Paphitis.

Catherine Hamilton-Cooper, owner of Tidying Time, was introduced to the Dragons’ Den star through Small Business Sunday (SBS), one of the leading small business websites in the UK with over 3,500 active members

Catherine submitted details of her decluttering and organising business to Theo on Instagram and was one of six weekly SBS winners across the whole of the UK.

Theo shared Catherine’s story to his near half a million Twitter followers and over 40,000 Instagram followers. As a result, Tidying Time has increased its social media followers and increased business exposure.

Tidying Time is also profiled on the SBS website, www.theopaphitissbs.com, which is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners. 

Catherine recently received her winner’s certificate from Theo at a Small Business Sunday event at Birmingham International Convention Centre.

Theo said: “We are 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 a SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish Tidying Time every success.”

A delighted Catherine said: “It was an amazing opportunity to network with other businesses. Speakers included Google Digital Garage, NatWest, Sunday Times best-selling author Owen O’Kane, F1 superstar and business entrepreneur Mark Blundell and, of course, Theo Paphitis.

“I am so passionate about my job and love seeing the life changing difference my work with clients can make.”

She added: “It is great to have support from Theo, it has really helped raise Tidying Time’s profile. Theo has recognised my hard work and helped spread the word about what I do to his following.”
