Clive completed his Quantity Surveying training in the family firm of Alex Sayer and Partners in the 1970s following completion of a Surveying BSc(Hons) at University of Reading and a Masters Degree at Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. He managed that firm's expansion, including its move into related services of project management and building surveying. In 2000 he was instrumental in the merger of Alex Sayer with Boxall Davenport to create Boxall Sayer. In 2005 he instigated and negotiated the acquisition of Ash Preston, a central London based Quantity Surveying practice, to strengthen the firm’s London presence. He played a key role in the creation of Baqus and, of course, Boxall Sayer was one of the initial constituent firms.
