In addition to running
his business, Terry has been active in local politics in Solihull,
Birmingham for many years. His energy and enthusiasm for his
local community has involved him in numerous campaigns, ranging
from fundraising to saving the A&E unit at Solihull hospital.
Terry has been a canal enthusiast for many years and is a
proud owner of a narrow-boat, which he enjoys relaxing on
with his wife Ann. He is also a keen painter and has painted
many landscape scenes of the canals in and around Birmingham.
Terry’s paintings have been featured in an exhibition
in Birmingham, and prints of some of his paintings can be
seen in the local pubs where his boat is moored. |
| Having devised and
developed the concept of the Diagonal Lock, Terry has been
focussing an increasing amount of his time and energy in developing
this technology and raising awareness of the Diagonal Lock.
He is extremely confident that his invention will have significant
benefits for U.K. waterways, and potentially other waterway
networks around the world. |
