David has been key in helping me look at business and promoting our USP in simple and effective ways. I understood more in an hour this week than I have learnt in months. David is an absolute asset to businesses in Eastbourne

You are welcome Sabrina. Thank you for all the extra blog posts :)
Thanks again to David for continually finding ways for members of Thebestof Eastbourne in front of their potential customers. As a B2B business the #AskTheExpert event is right up my street.
Thanks also for all the Marketing Workshops that I haven't left a review for, it's a great way of learning and talking to other group members about what is working for them.

Thank you Simon, great to have you along as always. Some great contributions to the workshop.
The membership of the Friends of the Hampden Park voted back last year to encourage me to work towards bringing a Hot Air Balloon event into Hampden Park. Since I first contacted David to help me promote the Eastbourne Hot Air Balloon Festival he has worked tirelessly coming up with ideas, suggestions and practical help. It is now an International Festival with balloons coming from visiting countries; it will be a 2 day event on 29th and 30th July 2017 in Hampden Park. It's aim is to bring an Eastbourne event into the heart of the community, to promote local people and local businesses. We hope to ensure that all participants from entertainment to sales stands are local people and groups thus promoting the best of Eastbourne and what it can offer and keeping the proceeds in Eastbourne. Lots of work ahead but excitement too. Thanks so much Best of Eastbourne. Sandy Boyce-Sharpe, Chairman of the Friends of the Hampden Park

It was great the response we had about the Wine Tasting event :)
We have been to a couple of EBtweetup's now, and its lovely to meet new people and hear the guest speakers talk, we have got to know a lot more local companies through attending, and will be going to more!

We have just restarted attending the Tweetups again . It is a good way to connect with other local businesses. It is always relaxed and friendly and there have been some very interesting guest speakers.

Always great to have you along to our Tweetup's :)
We've been members of the Best of Eastbourne Community Hub for a few years now and have really reaped the rewards. Members of the community find us on there who wouldn't otherwise know about our work. It's the same for both supporters and users of our service, as we have a network, but it will always have a limited reach and it is vital to be able to reach out to new markets or to be able to be found by people who need us. I'd certainly recommend the Best of Eastbourne to other community groups in the area.

Can't thank David enough for the help he has given the Friends of the Hampden Park to promote their Family Fun Day on 21st August this year, and our International Hot Air Balloon Festival planned for 2017.

I have been attending tweetups for a little while now and i think they are great. It's a great place to meet other businesses and build a relationship. It's never the same and having a guest speakers keeps it interesting. I have met some great people and made some great business connections too.

David helped me sign up and explained how to blog on the 'bestof' Community Hub by usining easy-to-understand language the do's and don'ts of blogging that hitherto had been rather daunting after reading other web-based instructions. Thank you David, you've restored my confidence and eagerness to blog.

So pleased we could help, more so that we know there is a great demand for the information you share through thebestof Eastbourne.
David is nothing short of a marketing genius. The way he has brought fantastic businesses and community groups together under the Best of Eastbourne banner should be considered outstanding. I've attend a few #ebtweetups and found them to be massively beneficial to our cause at Radio DGH. David has always given great advice in assisting us. For all of the above, we cannot thank him enough.

Well what can I say except without David Ruddle giving his support and his passion love and belief in local businesses there would not be a buy local so thank you, David it has not been an easy few years for anyone but you have always been there for all small and large business and created a wealth of givers rather than takers,

Thanks Debra, glad to be of service :)
Highly recommended! David is an extremely nice man who has helped many businesses and charities in the Eastbourne area over the last few years. As a business member, we have found David to be very supportive and encouraging, and the Marketing Support Meetings and EBTweetups very informative and enjoyable. Well done David!

Always have time for Chatfields Jewellers :) I love the watch from your Jewellers the the members got for my 40th
I met David a few years ago (at a networking event surprisingly!) and he immediately impressed me with his drive and winning personality. When the 'tweetups' were first initiated I intended to come along but something always seemed to get in the way. I finally made it along to the 5th anniversary tweetup where it was obvious I had been missing out all this time! It was obvious from the people there and the comments made how much of an impact The Best Of Eastbourne has had on these local business people and how much they have benefited and grown their companies since their association with it. I now plan to get more involved and hopefully become part of this success story. Many thanks for the invite and the inspiration!

You are welcome Cale, I have worked with RSE Group for so long I feel I earned my honorary A Team Badge!
David has been a font of knowledge, incredibly helpful and supportive for us here at Rainbow Bridge Equine Rescue. He is probably the most proactive Best Of Leader I have come across.

Really supportive of our band Hot Detroit. Supporting local talent by sharing media and updating their website with our information, in a time where local talent doesn't always get a look in.

As a recent addition to the Premier Members of the Chamber due to the great support from the team over the years I look forward to a long and happy relationship.
We've been a bestof member for only a short while, but in that time David has made numerous small suggestions and tweaks to make to our existing marketing activities that have lead to big improvements!
