This website is a veritable cornucopia of information about, not only local worthy businesses, but organisations and charities, events and places in Eastbourne. I commend it to you most highly.

When you are at the end of your tether typing "Heeeelp" like the proverbial Knight in Shining Armour David comes to the rescue. Amazing support at lightning speed. Thank you!

I am a Dent Devils paintless dent repair Master Technician which is great apart from the fact that not many people know what paintless dent repair is! This is why we enlisted the help of David at thebestof, to help raise awareness of our trade and to promote us locally as a trusted business. David has worked very hard for us with marketing and lead generation and his monthly workshops have been a huge help to us marketing for ourselves as well as being an enjoyable way to network with other business owners. I happily recommend thebest of to any local businesses that are the best at what they do. The more of us that work together promoting local business, the better for all of us. Thank you David. Keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work. A true inspiration to the local community, do not know personally but a warm and rapid response who has worked wonders with promoting local sport and more. 5 stars from me. Sponsoring Eastbourne rangers shows a great judgement of character. I myself knew they would be great before they knew it themselves. Give yourself a pat on the back Best Of

I had a problem posting a Community event in
Polegate and David Ruddle was extremely helpful and set up my profile and enabled me to post the event. He was very quick to respond to my enquiry and even phoned me so we could move forward. I highly recommend this page. Thank you David.

Another great marketing session with the Best of Eastbourne this morning. Some great tips which we have already put into practice. Always great to work with David when he shares as much passion about our business as we do. 5 stars!!

David continues to support Cooden Tax Consulting with little titbits of marketing excellence. I also very much enjoy the relationship with the other Best of Eastbourne members, it really is a little like having an office get together even when you are working on your own!

David is a fountain of information - and is always happy to help! Even if it is just 5 minutes on the phone before he rushes into another meeting! Invaluable! Thanks David!

The Best of Eastbourne continuously strives to do its best for its members mainly because David just goes that extra mile to make sure everyone is happy with what they are getting out of the platform, the new website has been a great success, and coupled with the members efforts and Davids leadership we are loking forward to an exciting return from the summer holidays for our autumn marketing programme

David puts on some great events to help business in Eastbourne mix and mingle. It's a great way to promote local businesses and to find out about resources available in the area.

Most of my business comes through local networking, including the Best of Eastbourne #EBTweetUp and building links with other Best Of members.
I have recently begun working with a high quality business professional, and had a meeting with him yesterday. I had to ask how he found me as he is not a local business. He explained the process he went through which included a lot of online research to find the right type of consultant to suit his requirements. I was delighted to hear that his journey started with looking at my profile and testimonials on the Best Of. Proof that the Best Of Eastbourne does really raise your profile - not just in your local networks, and can bring some very valuable business to you. A testament to David's efforts!

Nothing is too much for David and he always does what he can to help promote the facilities and office space at Pacific House. We love having his marketing seminars in our Conference Room.

David is a real role model. Nowhere else I have I seen thebestof as active and as comprehensive as the Eastbourne one. David is enthusiastic and passionate about what he does and the energy is infectious. If you want guidance on PR and marketing for you business, he is the go to man.

It was lovely to finally meet you having been connected on social media for a while. Your business is at the most exciting time and I so hope to be able to work with you when the time is right.
Really enjoyed the Tweetup tonight, lovely group of people to network with and I always learn something new. Great to see so many people there on such a stormy night.

Thank you Becky, great to see you at the #EBtweetup. Hope you picked up some new tips on LinkedIn :)
Went to the Eastbourne tweetup last night hosted by David Ruddle of the bestofeastbourne. His enthusiasm for his business, his town, and his business partners shows up in those who attend his events. If you have even half a chance to join in, do so. It will open up doors to new friends and opportunities.

3 years! WoW time has flown by. Here is to many more years of success!
Another fabulous Marketing Workshop with David this week. Including a new Hot Seat section where a company gets to ask other businesses for help on certain matters like new ideas for marketing etc. I was lucky enough to be the first company and it's left me with a good number of actions points and ideas to focus on for Artemi. Once again thank you David for coming up with another excellent idea!

For me David truly understands the merits & importance of supporting local business & indeed supporting each other within this same arena. Supporting local provides so much and yet is overlooked by so many. The creation of Local jobs, access to Local services by Local people creating a true community & therefore a true mutual understanding is the common goal which then moves on to give everyone a real choice against the online & faceless alternatives. I truly believe in LOCAL & David clearly Champions this with the same passion to help us keep the option to buy or use a Local service. Well done David, keep up the fantastic work you are doing.

The marketing workshops are really great fun and it is good to share ideas with other companies in Eastbourne, I found the recent work on making and using video content very useful, lots of good in-depth stuff on how Facebook and Google work, David Ruddle has a wealth of knowledge and experience

Thank you David for getting our school listing onto your events section. I love the new website, so easy to navigate and find what I needed. As always, you've been incredibly helpful, you are one of the hardest working people in Eastbourne by far! Keep up the good work and I look forward to working with you more in the future.
