I can't thank thebestof Eastbourne enough for pushing the Eastbourne Makers for NHS and Keyworkers facebook group gofundme page and chasing down some local companies for donations for us, amazing work. with the funds generated from the gofundme we can by 3D Printer Filament (Plastic) so we can print visors, and buy material so we can make gowns, scrubs and masks which are all much needed by our NHS workers as well as other Keyworkers in the community. This includes Patient Transport, Care Homes, The Police and many many more who we are helping to stay safer by supplying much-needed PPE.
Our go fund me is at the following link for anyone looking to contribute or you can find us on facebook

Glad we were able to help you reach your initial target. We will continue to help promote the fundraising now that the materials are costing so much more.
Really friendly easy-going business group. Nice people.

I attended David's Acadamy Workshop today. A very insightful and useful session for anyone with a small online presence or not sure how to promote events effectively. David always make sure everyone is welcome and will ensure the information he is providing is understood by all. This is really going to help us both short-term and long-term. Thank You!

This is the go-to place online to connect with businesses and services, and also to keep up to date with events, training and charities. I love the fact that wether you are a big business or a small not for profit organisation, the help and advice you get is the same high standard....and friendly, too.

I attended a thebestofEastbourne Academy workshop today and found it an immensely useful and productive experience. David Ruddle's experience and knowledge of marketing using social media and web techniques is incredibly wide and deep, and almost impossible to take in all at once! I'll have to book into another such workshop to consolidate what I learnt today, but I'll definitely apply what I did manage to take in!

Each time I attend a session with David, I learn something more. Feeling much more confident about using the website for Creative Force and in helping people to work more creatively on blogs, events promotion etc. Plus you get to meet great people who are passionate about what they do locally for Eastbourne. Great work, David!

Attended thebestofeastbourne-academy. David is just brilliant at putting you at your ease and not making you feel stupid when you need more than one session.
I am now going to put into action some of the things I now understand. Like putting on blogs and events.
Thanks as ever David.

Myself and two colleagues did a training session with David and he was brilliant! He gave us so many ideas and pointers to help us in our business that we're now bursting to get stuck in!

David is hugely knowledgeable and is extremely generous with his time. Anyone who knows him knows about his caring attitude, he genuinely likes to help his business members on thebestof Eastbourne as well as others like us who are not even in the area.

I have attended countless courses over the years but few compare with David's lovely approach and his great sense of humour. I recommend any business owner to speak to him as thebestof Eastbourne provides fantastic marketing advice at a relatively low cost.

Thank you David!

I am really looking forward to working more closely with you in 2020 with your events coming to Eastbourne :)
The Membership Kick Start folder is a great wealth of relevant information and follow up easy to use steps/processes. It provides fantastic value and is a big time-saver.

The Best Of websites allow us as a college to work closely with other groups within the community. It celebrates the best of local and allows us to support and create links with independent businesses. For example, a previous retailer of the year on this website became our go-to source on A-Level results day for decorations/balloons/helium etc. Our Employment team has great links with many of the top restaurants and hotels listed here, providing ample opportunities for our students when it comes to industry placements and apprenticeships. We have also made great contacts with accident repair companies and sports companies who come in and showcase their industry to students. The what's on guide helps us tie in with community events such as Airbourne, Beach Life and fundraising days, and also lets us reach a wider audience when it comes to promoting our own college events. A useful website with essential contacts and links,.

Very pleased to continue to support the college and loving seeing your local content being added :)
Another excellent evening at the launch of thebestof awards. One of the things I love about being involved with thebestof Eastbourne is getting to meet lots of amazing, local people. I'm more inclined to get things done if I know, with confidence, that I have someone reliable to do the job / training that I need. So far I've changed my dentist to The Dental Barn, had training through Ditzy Media and collaborated with Mugshots Cafe to deliver a presentation about Marianne North. All excellent things that have happened within the last 6 months. There are far more contacts out there I will be using soon too. Thanks for making this such an important component of what you do, David!
