About Terry The Speaker: Terry grew up on a council estate in the sun drenched fishing village of Stoke-On Trent. This was followed by a combination of military service and a long business career in the horticultural sector which amongst other things involved him with projects at 10 Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and the Homes of Sir Cliff Richard, Sir Elton John, David Beckham and many more.

He has visited Buckingham Palace on more than one occasion to advise a Senior Member of the Royal Family and regularly collaborated with television presenters. He once made a film with Susan Hampshire (okay it was only a promotional video but it still counts in his mind!).

Terry served on the boards of several companies as a Sales and Marketing Director. Experience with corporate clients included prestigious sporting venues as diverse as St Andrews, Carnoustie, The Amsterdam Arena, Chelsea Football Club and Wentworth have added colour and depth to Terrys track record. Giving him many a tale to tell.

In addition to regular Pre and Post Lunch Speeches, After Dinner Speaking and Master of Ceremonies Engagements Terry recently added Eulogies to his speaking portfolio. This followed his "Mortality Awareness Course" or as the Heart Surgeon preferred to call it a Quadruple Heart By-Pass Operation.

Having worked in Senior Management positions for many years Terry built a very successful track record in Sales and Business Development. During this time he personally concluded national agreements with Plc’s such as Wyevale Garden Centres, Travis Perkins and Jewson whilst maintaining and developing business with leading independent Builders Merchants such as E.H. Smith, JT Dove and Chandlers Building Supplies.

In the Public sector he has worked closely with The Health and Safety Executive, The Funded Learning Community, The DWP and Leeds City Council.
