We were called on by David after one of our fabulous customers had mentioned to him that we may be interested in joining The Best of Eastbourne. David immediately made us feel welcome and a part of the team. He is always brimming full of brilliant ideas and advice to help us promote our business and pass work our way. We do feel part of a local community pulling together to help each other flourish in business! David is always on hand, night or day, to answer any queries or aid us in any advertising issues we may encounter. We have no hesitation in recommending David and the Best of Eastbourne to local companies.

Would just like to say a big thank you to David for helping out a technical issue with logging into the Best Of Website. David was in my shop very promptly and solved the technical issue within minutes. Many thanks. Rob Just Wood Toys

Within our third year at the University of Brighton, we had to create and promote a new product or service that brings innovation to today's' hospitality industry. Our group decided to create a new bottled beverage, consisting of beer mixed with cocktail ingredients. We called it Beertails. Since we were aware that social media, in this case especially Facebook, is a big marketing engine, we really worked hard to get people liking and talking about our Beertails page. After a few weeks of further establishing our product we decided to step up in the game and contacted David Ruddle from TheBestOf Eastbourne. We knew David already from another Uni project and he was instantly excited to help us. He just asked us to write a press release, containing all the important information about Beertails and what happened after that was simply amazing! Due to David's' numerous contacts and extraordinary networking skills, he helped us by mobilizing TheBestOf Eastbourne community and publishing our press release to gain a hundred Facebook LIKE's within only four days!! By giving us a platform through the website and the community of TheBestOf Eastbourne he helped us become a Facebook success and we are still very happy about it :)

I just wanted to thank David for his Marketing Review of my local business, Professional Video Services. The Review was honest, thorough and extremely helpful, highlighting current marketing weaknesses where they occurred, whilst offering positive suggestions on how to improve! I was grateful for the wide-ranging advice David gave me, and was impressed by his tremendous enthusiasm to help local businesses prosper. Excellent!

Became a member of TheBestOfEastbourne a few months ago. I have been very impressed with David Ruddle who I have mainly dealt with. I have found that David does his utmost for TheBestOf members and this is worth the membership fees alone. I have seen enquiries arising from my page and made some useful contacts, it's definitely a get out what you put in type of service and I'm confident the more I put into it the better results I will see. I also believe that TheBestOf Eastbourne will continue to grow with David.

we have just had the most amazing training session on social media from David. Although we knew how to do this, David has all the secrets! I can thoroughly recommend him for his knowledge and skill in making this subject so much easier to understand.

With Christmas approaching I decided the ideal gift for my in-laws was a great meal at a recommended local restaurant in their area, however I am 180 miles away and needed some advice from a local expert. David at thebestof Eastbourne was incredibly helpful. He suggested a great local restaurant that would appeal to my relatives taste (The Hidden Cellar), and then spoke to the owners on my behalf. Within hours of our conversation, the restaurant telephoned me, emails were exchanged, funds were transferred and a fabulous voucher delivered to my in-box. WHAT GREAT SERVICE! Thank you Dave for going the extra mile (180 in my case)!

Success breeds success, and here at Eastbourne Rangers FC we are very proud and feel very privileged to become part of thebestof Eastbourne where success in promoting it's members is clearly very apparent. Everybody that we have spoken to regarding thebestof cannot speak highly enough of the work rate and energy that David Ruddle brings to "his team". Maybe he could do a job for us as a centre forward!! As a football club, we were looking to build on our business contacts - this was before learning about thebestof and what the business has to offer the community of Eastbourne. We have to say that our inclusion has already enhanced our profile with local firms no end. As a result, Eastbourne Rangers are now even more focused on using local businesses. But not just any old local businesses- we intend to use businesses that belong to thebestof from this point forward wherever possible. The regular networking events seem to be a big hit along with the "tweetups" and we hope to send representatives to these events whenever we can. On a final note, thank you thebestof. And thank you David Ruddle for all your help so far and your continuing help in the future. FIVE STARS!! Eastbourne Rangers FC

I'm not a Twitter specialist, but I enjoy networking and I appreciate David's effort in organizing the Tweetups. Katy Bourne story was fascinating this week! I look forward to attending the next one...

The EBtweetup was a fantastic opportunity for me to meet with local business people, hear their views on policing and share ideas on how best to use social media to engage with wider audiences. The evening was buzzing, conversation flowed easily and I am already looking forward to attending a future event.

Since joining last year I have received continued support from David. Not only has he promoted my business through the Best of Eastbourne but he has also introduced me to other likeminded business owners. A brilliant aspect of the Best of is the call tracking service. Before each referred call you receive a quick 'whispered'message so you know the customer found you through the Best of site. it's great to know which areas of marketing are working as its very difficult generally to find this information out!!

David - I wanted to say thanks for such a superb event at the Afton Hotel the other day - the Tweetup with Steve Hewlett (and Arthur Lager etc...) It was brilliant! Steve is a genuinely nice guy, and hilariously funny, a really gifted ventriloquist. Also, the fact that he was there shows the influence 'Thebestof' has now, and is a great testament to you and your business. So well done for all you're doing in supporting all that's good about business in Eastbourne, and for the invite. Wishing you great success as you move forward. Kind regards, Ian Lucas

Through The Best Of Eastbourne, David Ruddle continues to use his unending reserves of enthusiasm and positivity to bring the people and business of this town together and promote everything that’s great about Eastbourne. His latest coup of getting (the rather fantastic) ventriloquist Steve Hewlett to perform at the most recent tweetup shows how he is determined to keep things fresh even after 3 years. It’s always a pleasure to be involved with one of David’s projects and his network and recommendations are a priceless resource for businesses, consumers and community groups throughout the town.
