David has been a wonderful support to me as a new member of Best Of Eastbourne. His energy is infectious, his perseverance and focus inspiring and his drive frankly enviable. I have only attended few events since joining but they were all a great experience and I must admit I wish I had joined earlier!

David's tireless work for the members of the Best of Eastbourne continues to amaze me, I'm really looking forward to July's Showcase event as I can't make the next one in May, the monthly marketing meetings are always full of fresh ideas, I just wish I had more time to implement some of them and the new member networking sessions that he has planned seem like a great way to get more of the members interacting both amongst themselves and with the community members. Keep going David, you must be running out of ideas soon!

David's help was what I needed to help me get started when I had this idea of inviting some balloons to fly out of Hampden Park and he has worked through with me to turn it into a weekend Festival. Grateful thanks

Last year I spent seven months on a PR and marketing work experience placement at Bestof Eastbourne which contributed towards the completion of my degree in Events Management. Over the months I learnt so much from David who is by far the ultimate marketing and social media guru! The varied experience I had at Bestof meant I gained an endless list of transferable skills which contributed towards me securing my first graduate job! The work the team do within the community is brilliant and I wish David and the team all the ‘best’ for the future!

I have been part of David's Best of Eastbourne for 18 months now. I would thoroughly recommend it to other businesses in the Eastbourne Area who don't have there own Sales and Marketing team or who have a team that might need some more inspiration. David and the Best of are full of great marketing ideas to help you grow your business, all you need is a little time to be able to implement them.
