Some specialists in international relocation and tax affairs who will give only a short interview and are sparing in their advice until you sign up and pay their fees. From my experience, Edale let’s you explore the many what-ifs in a friendly exchange of views and options. My instinct tells me that the company focuses on long-term relationships built on trust and mutually beneficial results.

Asked for a Zoom interview as I was confused about the likely tax rates and how to proceed on my little US retirement savings from a two-year employment some years ago, being a permanent UK resident and finally old enough to take them out. Laurie clearly knew the exact situation, helped me to understand the jargon, could answer all my questions easily, and showed me clearly how to proceed so as to end up paying a much smaller tax rate than the scary 30% that I’d seen banded about on websites. No attempt to sell me anything I didn’t need, and a complete understanding that my income and savings are small and not ‘big gun’ investments. Very very helpful – thank you so much!

Edale provided exceptional support in evaluating our Digital Pathfinders programme, which served businesses across the North of Tyne region. 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. Simon’s responsiveness in making necessary amendments to the final report was commendable. The team’s efficiency and attention to detail ensured that the evaluation accurately reflected our work and impact. Working with Edale has been a smooth and productive experience. Their expertise in external evaluation has provided us with valuable insights into our funded programme’s effectiveness. I highly recommend Edale for organisations seeking thorough and professional evaluation services.

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.

Lawrie Chandler gave me helpful, clearly explained advice in our one-to-one consultation on considerations for US persons regarding UK pensions. He is very good at breaking things down and demystifying terms and options, and his friendly and sympathetic manner were particularly welcome.

Really appreciated the 121 consultation with Lawrie who provided helpful information and considerations as a US Citizen residing in the UK. Lawrie patiently answered our specific questions as a young couple (myself American and husband British), provided a helpful resource link afterwards, and was straightforward with next steps, without it feeling like a hard sell. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would contact Lawrie in future for future planning/ questions!

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!
