WHAT WE STRIVE FOR
Our Mission
Our Mission is made up of four core pillars that each represent an area that we prioritise as a business.
Our People
Our people make us who we are. We are committed to understanding and nurturing our team’s aspirations, working with them to achieve their maximum potential.
Our Clients
As our client, your success is our success. We aim to be seen as a natural extension of your business and not just a third party that sits on the fringes. We are your first port of call whenever an opportunity or challenge arises – we’re with you every step of the way.
Our Community
We are committed to having a positive impact on our local community. In our charitable work, we have one goal – supporting children and young people in the city of London.
Our Planet
We have a never-ending responsibility to protect our planet in every way we can. In 2024, we became a B Corp certified business and in doing so we aim to lead the way to a more sustainable future, inspiring our stakeholders to make positive changes too.
WHAT SETS US APART
Our Values
Our Values shape our approach to today and our vision for tomorrow.
- We are quality obsessed

We are quality obsessed
We strive for the best outcomes, service and to be the best at what we do. Embracing new technologies and prioritising efficiency means we are continuously improving our services and experiences.
We are entrepreneurial
We are ‘can do’, enthusiastic and resilient, just like our clients. We are commercially minded and feel true ownership and pride in our work.
We are collaborative
We collaborate with each other, our clients and our community. In doing so, we challenge each other to do better.
WHERE IT BEGAN
Our story
Having left the RAF in 1946, friends Gerald Edelman and Toby Hoffman founded ‘Gerald Edelman’.
Toby fondly described Gerald as having a ‘magnetic personality’ and they quickly forged a successful partnership.
Tragically, Gerald died whilst on holiday with his family at the tender age of 35. Toby, however, continued to build the practice, retaining the firm’s name to ensure that his friend’s legacy lived on. The rest, as they say, is history.
