I attended yesterday's Business Boost event and really enjoyed the opportunity to meet other local business owners as well as learn some great tips about promotion and maintenance of business systems etc.
It's great to be able to do these events in person again, I'll definitely go again!

Attended my first TheBestOf event this week and I highly recommend! David phoned after I registered my entry to introduce himself and explain how he runs the events to ensure you get the most out of it. Great relaxed atmosphere and made to feel very welcome by everyone. Looking forward to attending more!

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!

David provided some training on how to use the Best of Eastbourne website and Facebook groups for our charity, Children with Cancer Fund, and it was helpful, insightful and will benefit our charity greatly. He tailored the session to our specific needs and was very happy to answer questions- a very enjoyable session and David was very friendly!

Everyone present benefitted from today’s Best of Eastbourne networking session. David enabled us all to discuss marketing and development ideas which are affecting us all. By the time we left we all had a least one new development point to focus on. Thanks David and keep up your excellent work

had a few issues with my ad. so I sent an email to David Ruddle asking hi about them and he sent back a very considerate and comprehensive answer - not some generalized blah about FAQs, but specific to my problem. That was excellent! More than that: the fact that I made contact with a human and not an algorithm was impressive; the speed of reply also, and the fact that it was New Year's eve... Amazing!!

So pleased I was able to help you get everything set up to share your events and news via thebestof Eastbourne :)
I found yesterday’s Business Boost meeting at the Cumberland so invigorating. Everyone was so full of enthusiasm and offered so many . It was also delightful to meet people face to face and bounce ideas off each other.
The focus of the meeting was to plan for 2022 and now have so many new ideas to think about.
Thank you David for organising and facilitating it.

Thanks Jason, it is great to have you on board.
David was an approachable, friendly and personable host for the best of Eastbourne event. He made us all feel welcome and made the two hours flow smoothly.

For my first in person networking event for sometime it was enjoyed and I'd happily return again.

If you're local and want to meet some new people who also run their own businesses then David is the man about town to help you do just that!

2 hours of actual face-to-face business networking, with real people, what a salve for the soul. I’m all for quality over quantity and this select gathering proved just that.

✅ Great idea sharing about how to market our businesses

✅ genuine connections with fellow solopreneurs

✅ an invite to be guest speaker at another networking group

✅ fab convos about how I help change people’s lives, and requests to share these amazing success stories (noted!)

All this, thanks to David Ruddle who is still THE most prolific networker, people connector, and marketeer I know. And a jolly good bloke, to boot.

Well worth the train ticket over!
