I worked in Australia for 2 years under the 456 visa. After I left Australia in 2012. I was looking for a way to recover the funds that my former employer debited from my salary to place it in the Australia Superannuation. For almost 5 years I was looking for advice to recover my funds that were in the sunsuper Australian Superannuation. Many times I got myself with many buracratic obstacles, especially trying to recover the funds from abroad. The process to recover the funds through the web page of the Australian tax office and the sunsuper website is very cumbersome and discouraging. My complications ended when I came across with Edale. Under the advice of Edale I was able to recover the funds and deposit them in the bank account of my preference. Edale completed the due diligence in an effective and fast way, helping me to receive the funds in a short time.

I had an incredibly positive experience working with Edale to navigate the complex world of UK/US cross-border financial planning, especially as it relates to investing for retirement. As a dual UK/US citizen married to a fellow dual citizen, and having lived in the UK since 2010, I was overwhelmed with how to most tax-efficiently invest for retirement given our mix of accounts in both the US (IRAs and Roth IRAs) and the UK (SIPP, employer pension, and USS). Thankfully, Edale provided clarity and guidance on every front.

I’m currently going through a divorce and was in desperate need of financial help and guidance. I’m a US American living in the UK. I was searching for someone who knows, and could give financial advice for both sides of the pond; so to speak. I also was wanting a small and personal, yet local group in Surrey. Laurie offered his time, pro bono, to help walk me through and do all the necessary math to get the information I was needing. He did this knowing I had no money to invest (or even give advice on) at that time. This is customer service at its very best. I think I almost cried when he said he could help me with that free of charge!

Edale proved themselves to be extremely professional in their evaluation of our cross-border project. They collected significant amounts of data, including from interviews with project participants, enabling them to reach a balanced and detailed assessment of the extent to which our project had attained its objectives, and whether its impacts could be sustained. There was constant contact with us, and Lawrie and Adrian met all the evaluation milestones we had set out. It was an absolute pleasure working with them!

Lawrie and Simon demonstrated utmost professionalism, guiding us expertly through the entire evaluation process. Their deep understanding of our organisation, the programme’s services, and our client base was particularly impressive.

I have been working with Lawrie he has been very helpful in helping me grow and develop the business. What I like most about his approach is he is very practical for example I say I have a problem with administration he will signpost me to a specific solution, compared to previous events I have attend in other programs else where the programs centred on a theocratical approach by the end of these programs I had a “things to do list” no real change I believe any business is about doing , action and Aim for gold has that approach. The solutions provide are timely and prompt.

We chose Edale to facilitate and guide our series of co-creation workshops. The workshops brought not only businesses, but nature organisations and local authorities together. As a local authority, we wanted to be part of the workshop attendees, and build trust with a bottom up approach. Edale were attentive, listened and adapted to the audience. This built trust, and enable a safe space for attendees to discuss ideas and develop their business models.
Not only did this help exceed our initial objectives, it also created an opportunity for professional development internally, as we learnt from Edale’s techniques and through the workshops, became more business proficient ourselves.
Special mention should go to Edale’s ability to adapt and work flexibly around COVID 19 disruption to our face to face events. We were able to adapt our agreed workplan and move online exclusively.
We would recommend working with Edale!

The peer review worked very well for me, with some real nuggets of quick wins that could be made to my business. The group were also able to give a little lift to each week and give me the mental push to get on with things ready for imminent re-opening. The outcomes of this for me personally were 1) to have an organised plan and way forward 2) the contacts I have made as part of the group and will ensure visiting in the future, once we are all able to.

I went to Lawrie with an idea for a business, which some would say was unrealistic, but Lawrie helped me with a business plan/model to give my idea some perspective and then we went through a financial plan together, crunching all the numbers to see how the business would make a profit.
Before my sessions with Lawrie, I had all the ideas floating around in my head but didn’t have the knowhow to start turning it into a reality which is what Lawrie has helped me do. I now have a strong business and financial plan to work with and can start to get things moving.
Lawrie really has helped me take my business to the next level and I can’t thank him enough, his vast range of knowledge is just amazing and I can’t see any business he wouldn’t be able to help. As well as that he is a really nice guy, I could tell he genuinely cared about me and my business and but all his efforts into helping me succeed.
I would recommend Lawrie and Edale to anyone without a doubt!
