EDALE was very prompt in contacting me and quickly arranged a first appointment. I was on a short deadline and they helped me achieve my objective in time. Lawrie was very helpful and conscientious and delivered exactly what he promised.

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.

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!

The information you provided was super useful and clear – thank you! And I appreciate the fact you were up front and said you felt you could add no real value in my particular situation. It was great to get your candid input and it is clear you know your stuff – THANKS!

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

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.

I had a chat with Lawrie today. Very lovely to chat to and clearly knows his stuff. He gave me some good advice and I really appreciated it.
Would definitely recommend him and Edale in the future.

My husband and I spoke with Lawrie months ago and I am hugely remiss in posting this testimonial for reasons related the query that prompted me to contact Edale in the first place. Based on incredibly positive feedback about Edale, I’d reached out for tax and retirement advice as we were selling our home in the England, buying a new one in Wales, and looking toward retirement under the US Rule of 55 funded largely by a 401k but also UK pensions. As dual citizens (US/UK), we were overwhelmed by the complexity of tax laws and had no idea how to navigate retirement in the UK, but we were also interested in understanding financing options for the purchase of our new home. Lawrie met with us, explained our options, warned us of situations to avoid, and after our initial call, subsequently came back to us with extremely helpful clarification of the Rule of 55. After a quite busy few months, we are only now settling into our new home, and I was thinking about how it was Lawrie who helped us get here. That’s when it occurred to me I’d never written a review.
We simply could not recommend Edale and Lawrie more highly. Aside from his clear knowledge of all things financial, what struck us the most about Lawrie is how kind and genuine he is. In a world where people are increasingly unkind to each other, and particularly to those “not from around here” (wherever “here” is), speaking with someone so considerate, understanding, compassionate, and non-judgmental left a lasting impression on us. The consultation with Edale cost us nothing, despite how very valuable Lawrie’s time surely is. Social impact indeed, Edale far exceed their focus on making a difference. I look forward to working with Edale again for pension planning, investment strategies, and income management.
