Karen took to Twitter to tell Theo about her business which specialises in selling, servicing, repairing and hiring mobility equipment as part of Small Business Sunday which was set-up to help small businesses promote the products and services they provide .

The six businesses Theo likes the most are re-tweeted every Monday at 8pm.

The winners are then invited to enter their profile on the small Business Sunday website.

Theo retweeted @pfmobility to his 314,000 followers which has resulted in a boost of followers for Karen.

Karen added: "My husband and I set-up the business in 2003 after we felt there was a gap in the market.

"Winning Small Business Sunday has given us great exposure with the benefits of being supported by Theo Paphitis.
