Dragon backs new business

A DUMFRIES based company has received a business boost from Dragons Den judge and entrepreneur Theo Paphitis.

Mel Carruthers, owner of decluttering and organising company More Organised, was hand-picked by Theo as one of his national Small Business Sunday award winners. She had tweeted the entrepreneur about her business during ‘Small Business Sunday’, #SBS, and was one of six weekly winners to be retweeted by Theo to his 500,000 Twitter followers.

Mel said: “I’ve only been in business for eight months, so to be selected by Theo Paphitis means a lot.”

Congratulating her, Theo said: “My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #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 More Organised every success.”
