Always nice to see you Helen, glad your business supports our members when you can :)
Thanks, David for inviting me to the marvellous networking meeting at Mugshots. Getting to have a relaxing informal chat with some wonderful people in the local business community in the lovely Mugshots cafe was brilliant.

Great to see you there Tony, a tester to see if a morning networking event would encourage new visitors along. So glad we had a lovely turn out :)

Having worked with RSE for many years now I love seeing how the business has grown and has embarrassed business excellence :)
Probably one of the most innovative and helpful businesses around. Goes far and beyond what is normally expected.

Well I have to take this opportunity to leave a review for David Ruddle who runs the Best Of Eastbourne. You dedicate your time and passion to help the independent businesses take centre stage in all that they do and give them a far reach with a captive audience.
You’re always sensitive and upbeat, willing to discuss new ideas and evolve. It’s rare you meet a professional who is willing to go the extra mile every time and that’s you!
Your drive is really infectious and always pushes me to do more and keep innovating to grow my business and promote myself and services in ways I hadn’t thought of.
David is also very skilled in his marketing techniques and shows you ways to use the best of skills to drive your business forward and engage exsisting and new customers. David also knows the real meaning of networking and making connections which add value to each other for sustainable devoopment and real life opportunities. I don’t know how you find the time and patience for me let alone others so I thank you for all of your support thus far and wish you every success for 2019! You really are a one off and I have no doubt other independents in Eastbourne will back me up when I say we are so lucky to have you!

I do love working with you and your business :) Such a great place and more people really should check you out so pleased to be part of your journey.
I had a privilege of meeting David and couldn’t recommend him enough. As soon as I walked through the door David offered me a nice hot drink and some lovely biscuits. He told me about what he does and how he could generate more business for us as a new company. He was easy to understand, very polite and funny. He made me feel at ease and very interested in everything he said. I left his house feeling motivated and excited to work alongside David to promote our new business. Hes got my 100% trust.

David Ruddle was introduced to me as 'one of the nicest people in business', which has proven to be entirely correct. He's also one of the most generous, friendly and positive people I have met in a long time. Added to all of this, he really knows his marketing, and is passionate about helping his customers in Eastbourne make the very most out of the efforts they put in to their businesses. Sadly, I don't live locally to David, so can't become a customer, but wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone within his catchment. He will bring a breath of fresh air along with a raft of ideas and suggestions!

Thanks Jane, so pleased to be including even more Business Networking events for Eastbourne.
Just wanted to say that there were some brilliant ideas for kids during the school summer holidays on The Best Of Eastbourne which were not listed anywhere else, unusual things like an animation studio which had Open Days and is a charity, as well as being on our doorstep. Will definitely look here first in future & have told other parents to do the same :)

Glad you enjoyed the event, thank you for coming along :)
Having moved to Eastbourne a couple of years ago, I found 'thebestofeastbourne' and have been impressed with the way it promotes all that is best in Eastbourne, the many offerings, groups, organizations and services and because it is a great source of information. In addition, also with the professional way it is operated. David has managed to pull together many strands which are charitable as well as commercial and that is no mean feat. That is why 'thebestofeastbourne' gets a 5 star rating from me. Oh, David Ruddell is highly approachable and, as they say, a service is as good as the person who leads it, so if I could he would get a 5 star rating too.
