About Us

I’ve been a resident of Southbourne since 1998 and absolutely love the place.

Outside of work, I want to help promote the area and showcase the great businesses and events that happen here.

I believe we have a great community and this website is just one of the many things that can help connect the beach to the high street to the people, and make Southbourne a thriving place to be.

Gordon Fong.
