"Working with Caine, Edward and the team at CFUL has been an amazing and exciting journey from beginning to end. Their attention to detail, knowledge, experience, and skill in handling all matters relating to corporate finance, has made the process an enjoyable and informative experience. Edward walked us through every stage of this adventure ensuring complete transparency, reliability, and integrity along the way. He navigated our path through tricky situations with class and respect, whilst maintaining a firm grip on achieving our personal goals as business owners. We are delighted to now call Ed a friend and look forward to our next adventure together.”

“Edward Coldstone was simply superb. Transactions are stressful - Ed’s adeptness in pulling together different strands of the process, using not just his Corporate Finance knowledge but also his ex-CFO experiences, allowed us to execute with confidence and pace. Grace and humour can often be a rarity in fiscal matters, but it is Ed’s natural style. This remarkable style combined with his sheer talent and his eagerness to engage whenever needed, was just priceless. Most importantly, I felt very supported throughout the whole process - on my terms, not anyone else’s.”

“The achievements of the Araso team, and the role our products have played in enabling design engineers across the UK to innovate and solve countless engineering challenges, has been a great source of pride for me and my brother Anthony as we have guided the Araso Group over the last 30 years. Throughout the process, Mike and CFUL have demonstrated a deep understanding of our business and the sector in which we operate. This has been combined with high quality advice and service throughout. We are very excited about the enhanced opportunities that the combination with Essentra will generate”

“We have thoroughly enjoyed the journey with goldmount and its sale represents a good result for the company’s shareholders, including Araso Capital. We wish Edward and the team the very best of luck as they embark on the next stage of the company’s development. CFUL have been very good partners throughout and Edward’s sector knowledge, international connections and creativity were of great value to us throughout the process.”

“We are delighted to have benefited from CFUL’ counsel throughout the acquisition process, their combination of in-depth waste sector knowledge and corporate transaction management facilitated a smooth acquisition process, allowing our management team to focus on the strategic and operational steps to successfully integrate Reef into the BPR family.”

“We selected CFUL to advise us on this process due to their experience working with SMEs and particularly in the recruitment sector. Ed and the team guided us through the transaction process and his knowledge and experience were a key factor in ensuring a successful outcome, which all the shareholders are delighted with.”
