Theo Paphitis and Bluewater Events

In March, Evolve partnered entrepreneur, dragon on BBC’s Dragon’s Den and former chairman of Millwall Football Club, Theo Paphitis, with Bluewater Events for the Recruitment Agency Expo. 

The Recruitment Agency Expo was held at the ExCel in London. Theo attended the event, took part in a fireside chat with Q&A followed by a meet and greet and had selfies with attendees. Theo also recorded a short video prior to the event to announce his attendance which the organisers used on their social platforms to promote it. On the day, Theo discussed his entrepreneurial journey, leadership insights and perspectives on building successful businesses. As a retail magnate and extremely successful and respected entrepreneur, he was fantastic for the event. Bluewater Events said “It was a genuine privilege to welcome Theo Paphitis to the Recruitment Agency Expo. What stood out immediately was how generous he was with his time. Theo’s session was a real highlight for our audience. He brought a rare combination of straight-talking honesty and practical insight that truly resonated with recruitment business owners. The feedback we received was exceptional, with many attendees commenting on how relatable and impactful his session was. Working with Theo and his team was seamless throughout. Professional, supportive, and clearly experienced, they made the entire process easy from start to finish.  Theo left a lasting impression on both our audience and our team, and he is without doubt one of the most memorable speakers we’ve had. We’re also proud to be supporting his Small Business Sunday initiative through our upcoming content, and we very much hope to work with him again in the future.”
