Spring Fair has announced 12 new winners of Theo Paphitis’s #SBS Small Business Sunday initiative, who each receive a free stand at the February show.
Since 2018, the TV dragon and #SBS Small Business Sunday creator and Spring and Autumn Fair have joined forces to support start-up businesses. Together they have worked with over 60 SMEs, playing a vital role in their future success.
The February 2025 show will welcome 12 dynamic and inspirational new winners who each receive free stand space in the #SBS Village to showcase their designs.
Retail entrepreneur and small business champion, Theo Paphitis commented: “This partnership goes from strength to strength and the fantastic #SBS businesses benefit greatly from this multi-free stand opportunity. Over 60 SMEs, and #SBS SmallBusiness Sunday, winners will have been able to showcase their businesses and find new routes for business growth through this gem of an opportunity, including 2025.
“I always encourage our 4,000+ small businesses to take advantage of this one and I know that it will deliver even more for them next year, in Spring Fair’s 75th anniversary year. I look forward to seeing those rewards and the avenues of opportunity it brings for the winners in 2025 and beyond.”
The 12 new winners exhibiting in Hall 5 include two preschool businesses:
Chomp – Products created to bring joy and ease to your little ones’ magical and messy weaning moments including bibs, weaning sets and utensils.
Charley’s Wild World – Eco-friendly, sustainable, children’s clothing brand – created, designed and manufactured responsibly in the UK.
Soraya Gadelrab, event director, Spring Fair said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Theo and #SBS as we celebrate our 75th anniversary and continue to inspire businesses, big or small, to showcase at Spring Fair. Every year, the #SBS Village receives the most fantastic reception from buyers who love to discover the next generation of businesses and innovative products.
