Highly recommend

David is always lively, smiley and full of enthusiasm
What he doesn't know about the businesses of Eastbourne, who does what and the best places to go, really isn't worth knowing

Having known him for (over 15) years, I've picked his brain many times and he's always eager to help out

Great support and networking for local businesses

Joining thebestof Eastbourne has been a real benefit to my business. The networking opportunities have helped me make valuable local connections, and there is a genuine community feel amongst members.

David provides a lot of knowledge and support, particularly around marketing and increasing business visibility. The digital tools and online exposure available through thebestof are excellent and have helped maximise awareness of my business locally.

Professional, supportive, and well worth being part of.

I attended the recent Best of…

I attended the recent Best of Eastbourne and I am so glad I did. The new venue is excellent. I was made very welcome by all the participants as well as David and the presentation by Gordon’s of Office Easy was very interesting and informative.
I received a lot of support and ideas for my business which, following some difficult months lifted my spirits and it has given me back my va va voom. I now have a clear plan of action for moving forward. Thank you.
