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!

Over the last 6 months Edeal has been working with David at thebestof Eastbourne to run the First Friday networking meetings. Since working with David the number of attendees has doubled, the meetings are more structured and the feedback has been excellent. Davids energy and enthusiasm is very infectious, he has a real passion for helping businesses and the advice he gives is invaluable.
David has so many different ideas and is constantly bringing new ideas to the table. He is always so cheerful, happy and helpful and a real pleasure to work with.

I love working with you Mina, your passion for social media is amazing and the feedback I get from people I send your way for training is always brilliant. You explain things in simple terms which makes recommending you all the easier :)

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!

Whenever David's name comes up, it is always spoken with affection. People like dealing with the best of, they like your principles, they like the way you do business.
Well done, keep it up, sometimes you must wonder what you have done right, or wrong. Just keep on doing it.

So pleased to see you sharing content via thebestof Eastbourne :)
Fantastic support to get our society on the site!! We are a self funded society so to feature means so much as it will give us more exposure to our community which in turn supports us to collect the vital funds we need to put on our annual event. I can’t thank David enough for all his guidance and suggestions especially I managed to create two accounts by mistake! Thank you, you’ve been amazing!

Another excellent morning with David Ruddle and the group. So many useful bits of information, not to mention meeting up with people I've not had the pleasure of meeting before. Altogether a great experience!

Love hearing such great things about The Dental Barn :)
I really enjoyed the Best of Eastbourne Marketing workshop. I liked the relaxed atmosphere and sharing of ideas between a diverse spread of business people. I got so much from this workshop. Not only from David Ruddle, who's enthusiasm and passion are infectious and ensured we never had a dull moment. It's such a relief not to get 'death by powerpoint' and actually engage with everyone at the workshop. Which was a great help as I got some great advice from the other business people on pitching my consultation service to clients without it sounding like a sales trap.
All in all, it was a marvellous workshop and I am looking forward to the next.

Hi David - just wanted to say what a brilliant job you’re doing with your ‘Best of Eastbourne’. I’ve only been in Eastbourne for three years but I love it! It’s really great to see all the good stuff that’s happening here.
Thank you - FM 👍
