Clive Steggel
On February 25, Northwich lost another one of its great businessmen with the death of Clive Steggel from CRS Consultants Ltd, at the age of 77.
Clive had been a well known figurehead in the town for more than 49 years, having built CRS from scratch in 1977.
He arrived ‘up north’ from Iford in Essex at the age of five and went to Victoria Road and Rudheath schools.
Clive had Northwich running through him like a piece of rock.
Clive always sought to make Northwich a better place, having set up the business in what was affectionately known as ‘The Shack’ just opposite Waitrose, subsequently moving down to the Bull Ring and then buying Parrs Bank Buildings in 1984.
The building itself needing huge renovations and was lifted four feet, 10 inches to protect it from the flooding of the River Weaver and River Dane. Clive helped to form the Northwich Flood Defence Group to help to protect the town from future flooding.
He loved to regale you with the stories of CRS’ history, how he started and what he built and as you can imagine, Clive was immensely proud of what he had achieved in the 49 plus years of CRS in Northwich.
He always wanted to be able to give back to the community, supporting many charities and local community clubs along the way, sometimes quite privately.
Clive was a member of Northwich Rotary and previously a member of the Round Table, whereby he gave his time to help to shape how both clubs worked in Northwich with events and activities.
You may have seen the CRS name at events such as the River Festival or the Beer Festival, perhaps you would have noticed this on a football shirt for one of the local football clubs or maybe you were a beneficiary of one of the toys or chocolate boxes which were supplied to the Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity at Christmas.
Every little donation mattered to Clive, knowing that he could support something or someone in a time of need.
It’s not all about CRS though, Clive leaves behind his lovely wife, Andrea and son, Nicholas, who he loved dearly, instilling in all that knew him that family life was important.
Clive and Andrea have a passion for Bond minicars, and they have collected all the different variations of the Bond cars, bikes, trailer tents and watercraft.
They regularly display them at large events, such as the NEC Classic car show and Microcar Rallies, one of which they hold at their home every year, last year being the 18th.
They have even taken several European road trips in their cars, notably their Bonds to Bled journey with several other Bond owners, raising money for the eradication of Polio along the way.
You will find a fabulous painting by Jim Stanley at the CRS offices, depicting Clive in period clothing with his Bond Minicars outside of the CRS building!
Nicholas was the apple of Clive’s eye, immensely proud of him and was thrilled when Nicholas joined the business as a non-executive director several years ago.
Nicholas has since become an executive director for the company and is keen to ensure that Clive’s hard work continues.
Clive was a kind soul, caring deeply about people and this shows in the tributes which have been left for the family, with so many acknowledging him as a great gentleman, one of the old guard, and all with much fondness for the man that many in Northwich knew so well.
He had a great sense of humour, a little cheeky grin when you knew he was up to no good and took a joke well.
Clive wanted a lasting legacy, ensuring that the ethos he created continued long beyond his passing and it’s fair to say that this will continue through the Steggel family and the CRS name for many years to come.
The tribute page is still available online for people to leave a comment for the family at clivesteggel.muchloved.com.
There is also a book of condolence on the reception desk at CRS offices for anyone who would like to write in person.
Clive’s funeral was held on Wednesday, April 8, at 12.30pm at the Birches Crematorium.
The funeral procession passed in front of CRS Consultants offices where well-wishers stood alongside a photograph and a floral tribute.
