As a Sole Trader, marketing my business is an ongoing challenge. David's enthusiasm is infectious and he is great to brinstorm with. His commitment to helping Eastbourne businesses like mine thrive & grow is amazing. I appreciate all the help he gives me, both face to face, via social media and through The Best Of Website.

When you run a business it can often be difficult to fit in the marketing of it during day to day management. The Best Of Eastbourne allows businesses to advertise to local people and other businesses with the added knowledge that David is tirelessly active on social media and on the website to ensure those businesses are being talked about.
This helps with your reach... the more people and businesses get to know who you are and what it is that you do, the better.
I have helped David on an adhoc basis with bio write-ups for businesses who do not have the time, so I have got to know him over a few hot chocolates. He is a great advocate to have and a friendly person who will help you out whenever he can. So please do not hesitate to contact him to find out what he can do for you.
I am sure this guy is running on Duracell batteries because he is always on the go.....all for the benefit of local businesses. Make yours one of them!

Hugely beneficial workshop on the functionality of Twitter, would highly recommend David for offering advice or guidance on Twitter.

I've known David for a few years now and I think he is the perfect person for this business. His passion, commitment, focus and drive are all part of why the Best of Eastbourne will be the very Best Best of!! It's great working with him, as he does what he says and delivers on time, if not before time! Look out Eastbourne and look out 2012! David has arrived.

First EBtweetup I have been able to make and SO glad that I could today. Also first time I've been to Will's Restaurant and I'll definitely be going back. Great to meet the lovely people behind the avatars. Fantastic atmosphere. Thanks, I will definitely go again.

Just went to my first EBtweetup. Great couple of hours spent at @WillsRestaurant, meeting some lovely Twitter people I have been tweeting with for some time. I'll certainly be attending in the future.

I have just attended my first EBtweetup. Both David Ruddle & the Afton Hotel are very welcoming and, after some introductions from David and the relaxed atmosphere, I quickly found myself chatting to like minded people over some nibbles and a pint!
It is a good opportunity to network, meet new people, find out more about other local businesses and hopefully let others know about our own business.
I will definitely be attending again and would recommend to anyone thinking of going.

Eastbourne 'EBtweetup' took place last night (2/8/2012) at the Afton Hotel. I have just moved to Eastbourne and had an invitation to join the EBtweetup organised through thebestof Eastbourne founder David Ruddle.
An interesting mix of business and social conversations and nibbles, meeting other new and established members in a friendly atmosphere.
Being new to Eastbourne, this provided me with an opportunity to network and get a feel for what's going on in the town with a possibility to join up with like minded individuals who wish to contribute positively to maintain Eastbourne as a great place to live or visit.
Thanks. I recommend this event and will be a regular participant.

David is an excellent ambassador for the best of members he works tirelessly promoting us all via networking social media and just generally out and about in the community. Sceptical at first about the cost and viability of such a site I now know I worried without reason, he fights our corner, promotes us at ever opportunity and is our biggest advocate at all times. Thoroughly recommended and valued as a business partner. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping us raise our profile & promoting our business at all times locally

David is a personable and approachable person who works tirelessly for 'The Best of Eastbourne'. This is a website, but so much more, that does what it says on the tin, which is to provide knowledge of what is best in Eastbourne. With David at its helm, this is a ship worth boarding if you're a business who wants to be involved in the town or simply someone who wants a recommendation for any local type of service provider or business. He also instigated 'tweetups' which are a great way of socialising and networking for anyone that gets involved in social media.

I met David at a business breakfast some months ago. I joined thebestofeastbourne as a recent newcomer to the town, and David has been unendingly supportive and helpful to me. His enthusiasm is contageous, he is endlessly patient with my problems with technology (thanks, David!) and he is a great person to work with. He has come up with great ideas to help me grow my business, and introduced me to many contacts too.

I have no reservations recommending David at all. He is a larger than life character who is constantly networking for the practice. He often helps the practice out with our social media, which is wonderful for a 'technophobe' like myself. We have had new patients as a direct response to his tweets.

David has been so incredibly supportive of the work we do at Teenage Cancer Trust and always goes the extra mile to offer his help, support and expertise. Dave was instrumental in raising awareness of our Blue Day campaign last October and has also got fully behind our brand new Time for T campaign taking place on 24th May, tirelessly handing our posters and postcards and talking to his contacts about the event, encouraging as many people as possible to get involved. He supports our Eastbourne Fundraising group with advice and contacts and he offered to help them recruit a new volunteer Chairperson. Dave has helped set up and develop facebook sites and other online information and he has even managed to get me Tweeting for the first time ever!!!
So THANK YOU Dave for all that you do to help and support me to do my job which in turn goes towards helping local young people fighting cancer. We could not do our work without the kindness and hard work of amazing people like you. Many, many thanks.

Eastbourne Tweetups are a great way to meet local people who want to make the most of Social Media to promote businesses, services and just have fun. More importantly, it's a great way to prove your not crazy talking to yourself over the internet but these are real people on the other end of your updates and messages.
I've been attending the local Tweetups since they started and have made some great friendships as well as beneficial contacts for our charity. Every Tweetup brings new faces, stories to hear and experiences to share. Big thanks to the mighty David Ruddle for organising these and to the Afton Hotel and Friday Street Farm for being perfect hosts too. Keep them coming!
