I attended #AskTheExpert to support mine and Tectonic's support to the other Best Of Members and David, the event was great and was nice to get to chat to other members and exhibitors that I hadn't had the chance to, and was great compared to other business events, local businesses and charities at a local venue, showing it's support for the #BuyLocal and #Supportlocal businesses campaign. David is full of knowledge and has helped us a lot in our first year.

As a community partner it was useful to have a stand at the Ask the Expert event - thank you. Hopefully we have made some helpful contacts which we will follow up and also it was a good opportunity to promote the charity to those who may not know about it. We also met other businesses and found some useful things for us personally!

Thanks Louise it was your Indian Head Massages that helped me when it all got too much for me brain lol
David has been a wonderful support to me as a new member of Best Of Eastbourne. His energy is infectious, his perseverance and focus inspiring and his drive frankly enviable. I have only attended few events since joining but they were all a great experience and I must admit I wish I had joined earlier!

David's tireless work for the members of the Best of Eastbourne continues to amaze me, I'm really looking forward to July's Showcase event as I can't make the next one in May, the monthly marketing meetings are always full of fresh ideas, I just wish I had more time to implement some of them and the new member networking sessions that he has planned seem like a great way to get more of the members interacting both amongst themselves and with the community members. Keep going David, you must be running out of ideas soon!

David's help was what I needed to help me get started when I had this idea of inviting some balloons to fly out of Hampden Park and he has worked through with me to turn it into a weekend Festival. Grateful thanks

I love the best of Eastbourne especially their emails that keep me up to date with events and things happening in the town. As a Community Interest Company I also post my events on their website for lots of free publicity.

Always welcome at our #EBtweetup Sue and I am glad you find the e-news helpful
Just had a tweet up run by David Ruddle of the Best of Eastbourne. We had at least eight new faces at the meeting and a great networking evening. Two interesting speakers so a well worth event. Thank you David once again for all that you do for local businesses
