NEW Tonedale business IzzyBee has received heavyweight backing from former television Dragons Den star Theo Paphitis.

IzzyBee owner Kate Worden sent a ‘tweet’ to Paphitis about her business for his weekly Small Business Sunday competition and was one of six winners.

Paphitis re-tweeted Kate’s tweet to his 500,000 Twitter followers and as a result the business has had more orders and a boost in its Twitter followers.

IzzyBee, which sells gift and personal care packages, is also profiled on the #SBS website theopaphitissbs.com
