We’re here at the Crowborough and District Chamber of Commerce’s Business Expo! It’s buzzing with lots of business chatter. We’d love to see you so pop along before 2pm. There’s coffee and pastries.

20/04/2026

Tomorrow we’ll be at the town’s Business Expo at the Crowborough Community Centre, alongside 30 other local companies. Run by Crowborough and District Chamber of Commerce, this event showcases just some of the many successful and hard-working businesses in our town.

Anyone can drop in for free and you’ll pick up lots of useful information. We’ll be explaining how Golden Charter funeral plans help you and your loved ones prepare financially, we can show you samples of Somerset Willow Coffins – an increasingly popular option – and we’ll have unique and original memorial jewellery from Wendy Kemp.

Please come and see us for a cuppa and get to know us and some of the town’s top businesses!

It’s been a busy but energising weekend at the SAIF independent funeral directors AGM. I'm an active member of this fantastic industry body and was delighted to meet so many fellow professionals. We celebrated women in our industry, learned a lot and had fun over three days of solid networking, education and socialising.

This weekend showed strong engagement, honest discussion and a clear focus on the future — exactly what an AGM should deliver.

We also saw the launch of SAIF's new national direct cremation campaign — an important step in supporting independent funeral directors like us to clearly communicate value, choice, and local care to the families we serve. You can learn more about direct cremation on our website (www.stephentesterifd.co.uk/arrangements)

We're always happy to have a chat with people in the community about direct cremation, SAIF's regulatory standards that we adhere to, or any other issues or questions around the funeral industry. Call us on 01982 577166.

A great afternoon at the Charles Century Community Stadium as our sponsored match saw Crowborough Athletic Football Club come away with a well-deserved 2–0 win against Beckenham Town. The crowd was in fine voice, the atmosphere around the ground made it a really enjoyable occasion, and it was good to see the Club collecting for Parkinson's UK during the game.

I was pleased to present the Player of the Match award to .turner777 after a tremendous performance in the centre of the pitch — a well-earned recognition.

Well done to everyone involved, and thank you to the Club and supporters for making us feel so welcome.

After a couple of postponements, our sponsored match for Crowborough Athletic Football Club is finally going ahead, with kick-off just a couple of hours away.

We’re looking forward to being at the Charles Century Community Stadium this afternoon, and we’re pleased that the Club will also be collecting for Parkinson's UK at today’s game.

Good luck to the team — and we hope to see plenty of you there.

Third time lucky for us – weather has caused our sponsored match to be postponed twice already!

At last we’re proud to be the match day sponsor for Crowborough Athletic Football Club this Saturday as our first team meets Beckenham Town.

We’ll be on the sidelines at the Charles Century Community Stadium, following every moment of the match and cheering our team on.

We hope the weather is kind to us and we’d love to see you all there!

On International Women’s Day we celebrate our general manager, Kim Eastwood.

More often than not, Kim’s will be the first voice you hear as she answers the phone at Stephen Tester Funeral Directors, with her warm and compassionate approach.

Kim also brings her air of calm and her organisational talents to her second role with us, as a funeral arranger. Her extensive experience in the bereavement sector includes working at Kent & Sussex Crematorium and a previous role at an independent funeral directors.

She has completed the Funeral Practitioner Course delivered by the Independent Funeral Directors College (IFD).
‍
Kim says: “Families come to us when they are at their lowest. We are here to help them, guiding them through the process and shouldering some of the responsibility.

“Every family is unique, and it’s a privilege to help them create a service that truly reflects their loved one.”

As a member of the Rotary Club of Crowborough , I’m going to be swinging an iron at their Annual Charity Golf Day on 15 May 2026. Hopefully I’ll help my team win, but the fun is in the taking part.

Held at the Crowborough Beacon Golf Club , it’s Rotary’s 6th Annual Golf Day Fundraiser, and the Club would love golfers and other local businesses (both members and non-members) to join this fun day (and evening!) in aid of Taylor-Made Dreams , a local charity supporting children with life‑limiting illnesses.

Register early to secure your place with admin@crowboroughrotary.org or go to the event page: www.crowboroughrotary.org/rotary-events/golf-day-fundraiser-15th-may-2026

We love to support the arts and there’s no better way than sponsoring local festivals showcasing great talent.

The Mayfield Festival is the perfect event if you like relaxed listening and good company. We’re delighted to be sponsoring two events in the schedule - A Sunday Kind of Jazz with the young Harry L’Estrange Trio and, in contrast, medieval and renaissance music by Faronel.

Both are on Sunday May 3 at St Dunstan’s Church. Two very different styles but please do go along — as I just know you’ll love both.
