Wow what can I say about David. One of the most hard working people I think I have met. He is an excellent networker on behalf of the members of The Best Of Eastbourne and Buy Local. He seems to know EVERYONE and can quickly think of a provider for any need.
Its not just David that makes The Best Of Eastbourne work though. The testimonials are a great way for customers to feedback, the website is neat, tidy and easy to navigate and the community spirit generated by the members is great.

As a relatively new business, we've been trying out a range of different networking and promotional opportunities around Eastbourne.

I liked the concept of thebestof, and having David behind it is a massive bonus! David has an unquenchable enthusiasm and a passion for profitable business that directly benefits his members.

I recently attended my first members event and made really helpful contacts - one that could lead possibly the most significant piece of work yet.

So far, thebestof Eastbourne has been the most effective networking group I've joined!

I searched the Web and Twitter for some personal investment advice I required but drew a blank. After spotting David Ruddle on Twitter and the Best of Eastbourne, I thought he might be able to help. I emailed David and received an almost immediate response. After a brief email exchange David assessed my needs and provided a contact with a local agency which he knew was reliable. The contact proved an excellent recommendation and David's judgement was absolutely spot on.

As a complete bonus David mentioned he had another contact who provided a service in my own Industry. Again David's assessment of fit was perfectly correct and this has the potential of multi million pound business.

I can thoroughly recommend David Ruddle as a Business to Business contact specialist who has an impressive networking portfolio.

I contacted David by email very late one evening for help with 'technical things', and was amazed when he replied instantly! Ever since then, I have realised that he not only knows everything there is to know about Eastbourne, but that he also very genuinly wants to help and support our charity to become as well established in Eastbourne as he is - no matter what time of day it is! Dave's passion and enthusiam is inspirational and above everything, he is a really nice guy. I am really looking forward to continuing to work with David and supporting him to make sure that Eastbourne really is 'The Best of all Best ofs'. And, he is one amazing tweeter....!

David and I first met at a business networking event, where we quickly found that we share many of the same values and philosophies, both in business and in life generally. A tireless powerhouse, dedicated to building quality relationships with his clients and Members of 'TheBestOf'. I am pleased to recommend David, particularly to independent business owners who are striving to develop best-of-breed services designed to exceed their customers expectations.

David approached us to feature on the thebestof Eastbourne after receiving a recommendation for Humphrey and Co. His boundless enthusiasm for all things Eastbourne was truly inspiring. He’s a 1-man PR agency! It’s been a refreshing experience working with someone who really cares about the companies or organisations he’s helping to promote, providing links within the business community and actively promoting all that is great about our town. We look forward to working with David.

David provided a great service to OCSL and to me personally during his time at TMC. He was able to grasp concepts and solutions quickly and articulate them effectively to our prospects to secure new business meetings. I would have no hesitation in recommending David; he would be a great asset to any team!

I’ve known David Ruddle since first meeting him in 2008, from which time I have been continually impressed by his unerring entrepreneurial ability. David is not only a naturally positive businessman, he also has a true passion for networking. So whilst he’s always amongst the busiest of people, he’s also amongst the most helpful – at all times eager to assist other business owners to achieve success and reach their potential too.

David has been working with Davenport to develop our Agent and Master Agent network, and his skill in assisting us to position the company in exactly the right way has meant that potential prospects come to us with a clear idea of the benefits of investing with us. His creative thinking has been of great benefit and his suggestions and ideas always add value to our business.

I would recommend David without a second’s hesitation to any company wishing to work with an energetic and pro-active businessman who will always not only go the extra mile, he’ll also do his utmost to bring success to you and to your business.
