We understand the complexities of managing major programmes of work, the requirements for implementing supply chain management, the advantages and potential pitfalls of collaborative working and the need for effective project controls to ensure that capital projects are procured and delivered efficiently in an environment which can be subject to risk, operational requirements and regulatory review.

Our Philosophy

Clayton Consult tailors its services to suit specific customer requirements. It is our view that standard solutions only cater for standard requirements.

Clayton Consult is committed to repeat business and by building client relationships based on trust, mutual understanding and successful service delivery. These services can be delivered individually or tailored and combined to suit any client or project requirement.

We work either from our own office or co-located with other team members at a Client’s offices or site.

By adhering to this core philosophy, Clayton Consult delivers high quality training or project and commercial management services that facilitate the successful delivery of construction and infrastructure projects.

Why Use Clayton Consult?

Every business leader and every project manager seeks to maximise value from their operations. To do this they must achieve the right balance between time, cost and quality.

Whether a one-off project or an ongoing programme of work, successful organisations have realised the benefits of receiving expert support in setting up and managing effective performance and value management frameworks.

Our clients return to Clayton Consult time and again because rather than merely applying traditional services, each commission receives both a bespoke response built on a solid understanding of the client’s business activities and a no nonsense solution.

About us

The business founder, Nigel Clayton, has over 25 years of experience of construction and engineering.

He started out ‘holding a ladder’ for building maintenance contractors and moved on through land surveying, minerals surveying and mine surveying in South Africa’s Gold Mines. Duties as a Setting Out Engineer in Soweto merged with a Quantity Surveying remit and Nigel never looked back.

On return to England he worked his way through the ranks, with a variety of contracting organisations, from Ass’t QS up to International Operations Director, a role that combined with Group Commercial Director. Thyssen GB Ltd duties included Engineering, Insurance, Mining as well as construction regions across the UK.

A move to a consultancy role with Alway Associates in 2003 was soon followed by appointment as Director of Brunswick.  During his time at Brunswick, Nigel managed to build projects from concept to handover; dealt with countless commercial matters and spoke regularly for construction study centres. The decline of the Alway Group necessitated a change and Nigel established Clayton Consult in 2014.

The services that Clayton Consult provides are tailored to meet specific project requirements. We promise to provide solutions that are cost effective.

The sectors that Clayton Consult works in are diverse, and our staff are experienced in applying their skills and experience in traditional as well as specialist areas including:

• Building
• Civil Engineering
• Mechanical and electrical services
• Process engineering
• Systems engineering
• Signalling and telecommunications.
