From 1774 he traded as Sayer and Bennett, before the latter withdrew.Sayer was in turn succeeded - as Laurie & Whittle - by his assistants Robert Laurie and James Whittle from 1794 (though effectively from 1792 under the short-lived trade name of Robert Sayer and Co.) until 1812, when Laurie died and was succeeded by his son Robert Holmes Laurie. Until 1818, when Whittle died, the firm was Whittle & Laurie, and thereafter R.H. Laurie until after the latter's death in 1858. Its successor business still exists, publishing yachting material from St Ives (Cambs), as Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson.
