Lawrie my financial advisor is very professional and meticulous in every aspect of finance, nothing is too much trouble for him or Edale. Lawrie explained everything item step by step during the transfer of my investment. I will in the near future transfer my other investment with Lawrie and Edale.
First class service many thanks.

Have only been with Edale for a short while but so far they have been very attentive and demonstrated a clear understanding of my financial planning requirements. Very impressed.

Lawrie is a great advisor, he has shown us clearly and simply how financial instruments work and what options we have. He has dedicated all the necessary time and has been proactive.

Lawrie invested a great deal of time understanding our circumstances (dual US/UK nationality family) before any recommendations were discussed I am very happy with the outcome and intend to continue the relationship in the longer term.

I have known Lawrie for two years and have found him to be confident, honest, diligent and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

From first contact Edale provided a professional service, with minimal disruption to my working day. The evaluation was delivered with in clear timelines and the end result was exactly what we asked for.

It was probably one of the best funding presentations I’ve attended – focused, niched, lots of practical implementation advice – people just don’t know what they miss sometimes when they don’t attend.

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!

It was great working with Edale over the last couple of months, it helped me focus on the many different aspects of my business.

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.

It has been great getting together with like minded people on the programme and this has generated lots of ideas to improve my business.
Highly recommended

All information on our meetings were well prepared – a lot of thought has gone into them.
A lot of information was covered in each session, which will be of immense help in the future.

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!

I was fortunate enough to be supported by Lawrie with associate contracting and resources.
It was without a doubt, the best hour’s support I’ve had! Lawrie was knowledgeable, clear and efficient, both in the design and delivery of my associate framework.
I can now move forward with confidence and look forward to working with Edale again!

Lawrie was excellent at steering us in the right direction, he listened carefully and really got under the skin of our bsuiness model to ensure he gave sound, constructive advice.

Edale helped us develop a project during the Covid-19 lockdown and were really helpful in coming up with solutions. Very pleased with end result

We commissioned Edale to undertake some financial due diligence for a prospective investment that the LEP was considering. The service that Lawrie and the team provided was first rate and very thorough, especially given the extremely tight timescales we were working to. Lawrie communicated with us all the way and offered really useful advice that enabled us to get the best result. I would recommend Edale to other public bodies looking to appoint consultants to undertake financial due diligence work.

Lawrie and Adrian have a wide range of experience between them and as a result have been a helpful addition to our delivery team, especially with the explanation and application of the Business Model Canvas. They have been willing to be flexible and responsive to our requirements which has been essential for our type of project.

Lawrie is one of those guys with experience and business creativity that means every conversation you leave with a wealth of ideas. He was approached to help me refine and add more coherence to my marketing strategy, but quickly recognising that for my circumstances that doesn’t mean “step 1, Google adverts, step 2, Facebook adverts”, we were able to cut deeper into what I am trying to do and what approach will achieve that.

Lawrie’s contribution to our ‘Real World of Business Funding’ workshops has been outstanding. We responds to attendees’ needs in real time and makes sure that everyone has their questions answered. We will definitely be working with Edale again in future.

The feedback from the innovators attending this workshop was very positive. The information was delivered in a clear way with plenty of opportunities for questions and clarification.

My experience at Edale was my first work experience abroad, which allowed me to build a solid set of essential skills for my career in finance on a learning-by-doing basis with two different businesses within a dynamic environment. With the help of Lawrie, who was and still is an energetic and motivational manager and mentor with whom I truly enjoyed working on different projects involving the creation from scratch, the development and management of a startup, I was able to grow efficiently on a professional level but also on a personal level.
