Oh my lord Cleve – you were always the most amazing client and industry friend and will forever be one of those very special people I had the pleasure to work without throughout my time in the diagnostics industry. The news of your passing is still very hard to digest as I can only imagine what a huge hole you will leave in so many peoples lives and sending special love to your family. Thanks to a chance intro to you (by Colin Dalziel) at one of the many diagnostics industry events I enjoyed, I met you when we were setting up our marketing agency. You were without doubt a huge part of our success (yep, sorry for all those invoices and TLTR emails) but working with you and your ABX/Horiba team was an absolute career highlight – so many fun meetings, exhibitions, user meetings and wonderful trips to Montpellier and without doubt good to be with the fastest man through Charles De Gaulle airport when chasing a Friday evening flight! Your are one of the few I have met along the way who was loved by all – friends and family for sure, but across the diagnostics industry, you were loved and respected by everyone including all those who ever worked with/for you, including your competitors and anyone you ever met in an aisle or meeting room. You certainly left your mark with all of us, by not only knowing your stuff, but by being an all round amazing, funny, warm and most genuine human being which was your greatest achievement. RIP Cleve – we are all very much sadder without you.
