Hi David, thanks for my business MOT this morning. It was extremely useful and has given me some new marketing ideas to take my business forward this year. I would definitely recommend other business owners to spend some time with David, it is well worth it!

As a local, recently published poet I was offered this excellent community slot to promote my books and thus the charity, Help for Heroes that I donate to from my book sales as well as supporting. David was extremely helpful and patient in helping and advising me how best to present my page, so I would consider it "a must" for businesses to use. The actual process was quite simple with David helping me promptly along the way so I am very pleased with the result thanks!

Since joining the Best of Eastbourne in July 2014, we’ve found David’s enthusiasm towards supporting local companies and buying from local firms a breath of fresh air. In fact it’s the very reason why we decided to join the Best of Eastbourne in the first place! David has been a wonderful help with regards to opening our eyes to the world of social media and he is at the hub of the local business community. As a result you can count on David being to help embed yourself within the local business community. As a group, the Best of Eastbourne is pro-active and has many great members and long may it continue.

It was an absolute delight to meet up with Dave again today after almost 2 years. His boundless energy and enthusiasm has continued to grow and I loved reading about his awards and well earned recognition for the hours of passion and hard work he puts into developing the bestof Eastbourne to help and support local businesses and charities. Dave, helps and supports people in more ways than he realises and Teenage Cancer Trust in the South East are incredibly grateful of his ongoing support.

My very first tweet up at the Afton - not sure what to expect - but so glad I went. All three guest speakers were very informative - giving much to mull over and the venue was great. David, you've done a great job - you work hard and it shows - you had a great turn out and an effortless (it seemed!!) event running smoothly. Well done :-)

Not sure if this is the place but A REVIEW OF THE EB TWEET=UP. As I am a business owner and an employee AND an 'out of towner', I wasn't sure what I would get out of the tweet-up. My hope was, as the originator of #Sussexhour, that I would meet people from Twitter that I would be able to put a face to a name. My wish was granted & the first person I met was Katy Bourne SCCP, one of the very first #Sussexhour participants. David Ruddle put on an excellent event, and speaker Mina O'Brien was very interesting when sharing her Social Media start-up journey. Steve Lloyd's speech was disappointing; I thought he would speak more about what he would do for SMEs' & micro businesses in EB. But there is no accounting for politicians! All in all a well spent evening.

I have known David professionally for many years and have watched him work tirelessly in his quest to promote and support local businesses, charities and Eastbourne through the Best of and Buy Local. When I decided to take the leap from employment to becoming a small business myself, achieving membership of the Best of was a must do! David is a champion of small businesses and our community

After following David and The best of Eastbourne for a few months I finally got to meet the man himself at a networking event for start up businesses and those wanting to expand. I was not disappointed! Friendly, approachable and helpful are just a few words that come to mind. I look forward to becoming a member of the Best Of in the next few months. Thank you David from Happyjacks Soft Play

I'm delighted to have been accepted as a new member to Best of Eastbourne. David's enthusiasm and expertise with marketing and social media is outstanding. I have already implemented two or three changes that David has suggested and noticed an immediate ongoing change in the level of engagement from potential customers on social media and quality of enquiries. Thank you David.

Being a admirer of David's marketing efforts. I sought his advice on some local marketing I myself was running. In this instance I sent over my marketing letter which was going in my local neighbourhood. David came back with a few small changes to the text which made a HUGE difference to the overall response from letter. I know this as fact having done a similar thing in the past which had barely a fraction of the overall success. Not only did I get extra business from David's advice but I now have a renewed mind-set when tackling future marketing. To conclude, David is the 'Go to guy' for you local marketing needs.

I recently discussed some social media questions with David and was really pleased with his knowledge of social media. In-particular he helped me with Twitter and this improved my engagement with my customers overnight. If you need help increasing your business exposure, engaging via social media or need advice on the most appropriate method of achieving maximum "noise" in today's marketplace, speak to David. What have you got to lose ??.
