“I think I got away with it!”

Clive is a big man in every sense of the word.

Big in stature – as he says “I have the build of Pavarotti, but sadly not the voice,” His presence as a speaker, presenter or auctioneer is always felt!

Big on storytelling – he has hundreds of his own drawn from his work in events and travel, and a few from those he has met along the way.

Big hearted, in making dreams come true for the wealthy and privileged, he also makes sure that on his travels he and any clients that care to be involved give something back.  This has been by helping individual children in Africa reach their potential via bursaries, bringing fresh water to schools in arid lands, and assisting wildlife charities, especially those actively involved in anti poaching. In his own words “none of us can solve the problems of the world’s poor and underprivileged, but we can all make a difference where we touch.”

And he will make a BIG impression on you and your guests – a man who is noticed and gets noticed –for all the right reasons!

Clive takes his work seriously, but doesn’t take himself too seriously!

He has led a fascinating life, a sports journalist in the late 1970s, then in the 1980’s and 90’s organising significant events around the world for the likes of Rothmans, British Airways, Mazda Cars, and even members of the Royal Family. More recently travelling in Europe, Africa, South America and beyond, staging and hosting car rallies for drivers of supercars; and wildlife trips co-hosted by BBC presenters for those who like their adventures in the wilderness to be comfortable and still to involve culinary delights.

Through Clive’s company Prestige which he started in 1976 (when he was just a boy of course) you can still access all sorts of social, theatrical, musical and entertainment often not available elsewhere.

Part of Clive’s job for the last forty years has been as the front man at business events Prestige have organised. It all began back in the late 1970s when with the BBC’s David Vine, Clive presented the unveiling of the new Rothman’s March Formula 1 car to the world’s motoring press.

With Opera soloists from the Royal Opera House led by Clive, the Chairman of BA was serenaded to the company’s “own” tune at events organised by Prestige for the airline’s 75th Anniversary; and the first Business Travel Magazine Awards at The Hurlingham Club featuring dancers from an early episode of “Strictly” were hosted by Clive.

Always the smiling and reliable face of Prestige events, always in control, and never resorting to bad language at the mic.

So why not use that expertise for your own company. As reliable and professional as “someone off the telly” but at a fraction of the cost and without the ego! It’s not about the man behind the mic at your event – it’s about your company’s message and reputation, and Clive will be a willing ambassador for you.
