You work so hard and I am very happy to help promote your events and news.
I was just about to celebrate 10 years as a Bowen Therapist when we went into lockdown. Fortunately, David was there to help me get back on track. And before being included in the promotion,I sourced a trusted trade on the Best of Eastbourne to help me refurbish my treatment room.

Yes lock down wasn't a problem apart from a bit of cabin fever
Zoom meetings but productive ones not ones with 50 people but area group meetings was the secret

sometimes I feel sorry for David and the amount of times I've randomly pestered him... but he seriously is the first person I go to if I need any information of contacts or networking. Not only does he have a vast networking circle, he is always happy and keen to help. I have known him for (???) years and will continue to do so for the excellent advice he gives. If he doesn't know, he'll know a guy😊 Just brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work.

I have never learnt so much about dents in all my life, seeing peoples pride and joy restored is always so amazing!
As a new business this group is so helpful. Not just for networking but asking advise and getting marketing out there too. It's lovely to speak with other business owners and share advice and problems and David is so helpful with everything I need and gives great advise, not to mention his knowledge and skills. Such a helpful and lovely group to be part of.

Glad I was able to offer a helping hand when you needed it.
With my business taking a big hit during the Covid19 crisis, I was ready to accept any help I could find. Within 24 hours of my enquiry not only had David responded, but we had spoken on the phone, agreed to proceed together and I had my Best of Eastbourne advert live! Support has been continued throughout via video calls and newsletters, and thanks to the knowledge of the Best Of community I've found other more specific help I needed also. What a fab way for local businesses to support each other.

Thank you Ella, I have loved your contributions to thebestof Eastbourne and having photos of dogs all over my social media makes me very happy. So glad I was able to help when you needed it :)
Even during lockdown David’s work to support local businesses hasn’t stopped and if anything is even more important to ensure the survival of all these wonderful Eastbourne businesses.
It must have been a huge struggle for you David with all the financial uncertainty yet you haven’t given up and have become even more innovative during trying times.
You’ve always been an advocate for buy & support local and during COVID more and more people have relied on local businesses to keep them going. You’re an unstoppable force and I appreciate everything you’ve done and hope you have more people backing your buy local campaign in the future.
Keep being you and doing what you do as we couldn’t be without you!!!

I Just want to say how incredibly helpful David Ruddle has been in helping our charity get set up on thebestof Eastbourne. However, David's help has gone far beyond setting us up on the website. The charity academy events I have attended have been superb, David uses an informal presentation style that is very engaging and he interweaves some great strategic marketing tips alongside some very useful and practical tactics. Great for Charities and Businesses a like.

So pleased to finally get your event online :) All starting to take shape now. So glad I was able to help.
Another inspiring and helpful Academy (Zoom) session with David today - many thanks. Good to be reminded about updating events content, particularly during on-going coronavirus lockdown plus use of visuals and appropriate hash tags.

Always good to have you along Tim hope we can find a way to make sure Eastbourne Youth Radio and the BIG Futures Show are both a great success!
Yet again, David is our Knight in Shining Armour! Just spent an Academy session with him and a number of local charities. Although I know much of this already, it's always great to go over things and pick up new tips, too. An excellent hour in an online meeting. Never a dull moment!
