“Terence had so many different careers, from craftsman potter, to the chairman of a £2 billion public company, to a restauranteur. As a student, he was close to the art world and worked for the artist Eduardo Paolozzi. By the time he was 25 he had opened five restaurants, started a furniture manufacturing business and a textile company. He became one of Britain’s most influential tastemakers through Habitat”.
