I have been a member of thebestof Eastbourne for more than seven years and have seen the positive impact David brings to our local business community. He is always creating opportunities, offering support, and helping people make meaningful connections. It is a welcoming community of reliable businesses built on genuine recommendations. David is friendly, professional, and consistently involved in local charities, community events, and the growth of businesses across the town. I am very happy to recommend thebestof Eastbourne to anyone who cares about our town and wants to get more out of what Eastbourne has to offer. I am also very happy to refer David and the businesses within this group.

I joined the FSB more than 10 years ago because I wanted a support network that truly understood the realities of running and growing a small business. I was looking for reliable advice, practical resources, and a community of business owners facing similar challenges. From my first conversation with the local Business Advisor, it was clear that FSB not only offered real, tangible support but also genuinely championed small businesses nationally. Joining was a no-brainer. Today, that support continues. The current Business Advisor, Sasha Marley, brings a fresh, approachable style and extensive knowledge that makes a real difference. More than a decade on, becoming an FSB member remains one of the smartest decisions I’ve made, and the guidance and connections I’ve gained continue to help my businesses grow.

David, thank you for organising the Academy Workshop. As always, it was packed with relevant and useful information! I look forward to the next one.

Lovely networking event! It is always relevant, informative and of great value to all attendees. It is informal so it is good for the new starters as well as for existing businesses and Sandra (EDEAL) and David ( the Best of Eastbourne) always helpfull and welcoming. Thank you, looking forward to the next one!

The Membership Kick Start folder is a great wealth of relevant information and follow up easy to use steps/processes. It provides fantastic value and is a big time-saver.
