Terry has worked his whole life in and around the arts. In the early days he worked as a typographer then art director in various London advertising agencies before setting up his own graphic design business. This ran for several years before he left and set up a new design studio with his wife Belinda. Together they joined a retriever rescue organisation and worked for twelve years producing a range of items, from calendars to tote bags, to help boost the funds. During this period they adopted seven beautiful 'goldies', which in turn gave rise to their passion for saving British wildlife.
