Even during lockdown David’s work to support local businesses hasn’t stopped and if anything is even more important to ensure the survival of all these wonderful Eastbourne businesses.
It must have been a huge struggle for you David with all the financial uncertainty yet you haven’t given up and have become even more innovative during trying times.
You’ve always been an advocate for buy & support local and during COVID more and more people have relied on local businesses to keep them going. You’re an unstoppable force and I appreciate everything you’ve done and hope you have more people backing your buy local campaign in the future.
Keep being you and doing what you do as we couldn’t be without you!!!

I could not reply to this right away because you got me all emotional lol These last few months have been the hardest I have ever faced so hopefully, that makes whatever the future holds it will be a doddle!
I can’t recommend David enough, he is knowledgable and always ready to help. If you want to promote your business in Eastbourne the being part of Best of Eastbourne is the way to go!

I Just want to say how incredibly helpful David Ruddle has been in helping our charity get set up on thebestof Eastbourne. However, David's help has gone far beyond setting us up on the website. The charity academy events I have attended have been superb, David uses an informal presentation style that is very engaging and he interweaves some great strategic marketing tips alongside some very useful and practical tactics. Great for Charities and Businesses a like.

So pleased to finally get your event online :) All starting to take shape now. So glad I was able to help.
Another inspiring and helpful Academy (Zoom) session with David today - many thanks. Good to be reminded about updating events content, particularly during on-going coronavirus lockdown plus use of visuals and appropriate hash tags.

Always good to have you along Tim hope we can find a way to make sure Eastbourne Youth Radio and the BIG Futures Show are both a great success!
Yet again, David is our Knight in Shining Armour! Just spent an Academy session with him and a number of local charities. Although I know much of this already, it's always great to go over things and pick up new tips, too. An excellent hour in an online meeting. Never a dull moment!

Loved the video and so pleased you had such a good response to your posts,
David kindly hosted a video meeting on Monday to get some of the members together for support and suggestions on how to restart our businesses after the lockdown. It was really good to meet some of the members and listen to the suggestions. I have been able to take the best bits and mind map my chaotic thoughts into a more ordered way. Today I have started to action the best bits and have had a bit more confidence to start actual promotion for future events rather than just keeping in touch with my followers. David has been great for following up after the call and his support and happiness is always welcome!

This is the go-to place online to connect with businesses and services, and also to keep up to date with events, training and charities. I love the fact that wether you are a big business or a small not for profit organisation, the help and advice you get is the same high standard....and friendly, too.

I attended a thebestofEastbourne Academy workshop today and found it an immensely useful and productive experience. David Ruddle's experience and knowledge of marketing using social media and web techniques is incredibly wide and deep, and almost impossible to take in all at once! I'll have to book into another such workshop to consolidate what I learnt today, but I'll definitely apply what I did manage to take in!

Each time I attend a session with David, I learn something more. Feeling much more confident about using the website for Creative Force and in helping people to work more creatively on blogs, events promotion etc. Plus you get to meet great people who are passionate about what they do locally for Eastbourne. Great work, David!

Attended thebestofeastbourne-academy. David is just brilliant at putting you at your ease and not making you feel stupid when you need more than one session.
I am now going to put into action some of the things I now understand. Like putting on blogs and events.
Thanks as ever David.

David has the patience of a saint in his teaching manner and a genuine enthusiasm for supporting local organisations and building a better Eastbourne.

Myself and two colleagues did a training session with David and he was brilliant! He gave us so many ideas and pointers to help us in our business that we're now bursting to get stuck in!

David is hugely knowledgeable and is extremely generous with his time. Anyone who knows him knows about his caring attitude, he genuinely likes to help his business members on thebestof Eastbourne as well as others like us who are not even in the area.

I have attended countless courses over the years but few compare with David's lovely approach and his great sense of humour. I recommend any business owner to speak to him as thebestof Eastbourne provides fantastic marketing advice at a relatively low cost.

Thank you David!
