Always interesting and useful to attend David's Business Meet Up events. Today was really busy. Many new people (welcome to them), lots of inspiration and, even more, lots of follow up. If you're not a member already, you should be asking yourself why not? Don't give it too much thought, though , because, to be honest, it's a no brainer! thanks again, David!

Another great event today with David at the helm. An small (ergo covid safe) group that allowed us to network, learn and 'do'. It's always good to meet new businesses, find out where the serendipity is and to discuss things through. David allows that to happen in an open yet safe environment. It's great to be back to face to face, small but beautiful meetings!

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!

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!

I'm going back in December for a thorough check up and a clean up. As a nervous patient I have to say I'm not nervous at all about the prospect! Earlier this yeat the team were concerned about an issue in my mouth and set me straight onto an NHS medical team. Biopsy done and thankfully not anything bad. Not convinced I'd have had such a fantastic, vigilant service with care and efficiency elsewhere.

Another great session with Mina, making me feel much more confident about using Social Media. If you need advice, go and see Mina at Ditzy Media.

Another excellent evening at the launch of thebestof awards. One of the things I love about being involved with thebestof Eastbourne is getting to meet lots of amazing, local people. I'm more inclined to get things done if I know, with confidence, that I have someone reliable to do the job / training that I need. So far I've changed my dentist to The Dental Barn, had training through Ditzy Media and collaborated with Mugshots Cafe to deliver a presentation about Marianne North. All excellent things that have happened within the last 6 months. There are far more contacts out there I will be using soon too. Thanks for making this such an important component of what you do, David!

You know when you know that you don't know what you need to know? Being a bit of a social media phobe, I needed someone to talk me through the maze of all of the platforms and give me advice about how things 'look' or are related to the public / clients etc. using social media. I needed to look no further! Mina from Ditzy Media is excellent at working her client's level. She's never patronising, always patient as well as being knowledgeable, refreshingly honest and you never feel rushed. I've learned a lot, all of which is going to be put in place when I set up my new social media strategy over the next few weeks. Thanks Mina for giving me the tools and confidence to do this.

This morning I attended an excellent session learning about how to use the best use of LinkedIn, previously very much misunderstood and under used by me. Thank you Mina at Ditzy Media for delivering the session with pearls of wisdom and clarity and for making me just a tiny bit wiser! Teri @ Creative Force

Another excellent morning with David Ruddle and the group. So many useful bits of information, not to mention meeting up with people I've not had the pleasure of meeting before. Altogether a great experience!
