Business Boost Networking

Networking Without the Pressure

Networking doesn't have to mean standing awkwardly in a room, delivering a sales pitch or wondering who to speak to next. Business Boost, organised by thebestof Eastbourne, offers a relaxed, upbeat way to meet local businesses, share experiences and build relationships. There's no compulsory pitching, rigid introductions or lengthy presentations. Just good conversations with people who genuinely want to connect.

Business Owners Welcome

Whether you've never attended a networking event or you've been networking for years, Business Boost makes it easy to get involved. It's not unusual for someone to arrive feeling a little hesitant, only to leave an hour later having enjoyed themselves, made new connections and gained the confidence to attend more events. Experienced networkers also appreciate the fresh faces, different perspectives and opportunities that come from meeting people outside their usual circles.

More Than Just Networking

Word of mouth and reputation have always been central to thebestof Eastbourne. Since taking over in February twenty eleven, David Ruddle has helped bring local businesses and the community together, starting with #EBtweetup on International Social Media Day that June, which later featured in the Eastbourne Herald.

Today, Business Boost continues that commitment. David regularly looks for opportunities to introduce people who could help one another, whether that's finding a trusted supplier, recommending a local service or connecting a business with someone who needs what they offer. Those introductions aren't limited to people attending the event. They're part of the wider support and relationships that thebestof Eastbourne builds throughout the year.

Business Boost normally takes place on the first Friday of each month, from ten to eleven in the morning, at FOUNDRY in The Beacon, Eastbourne. First-time attendance is free, with limited opportunities for returning non-members and regular attendance available to thebestof Eastbourne members.

There's no expectation to buy anything or sign up for marketing services. Come along, meet some good people and see where the conversations lead.
