After taking early retirement from Ford, Terry re-emerged in the UK as Head of Sales for LEVC and helped launch the innovative VN5 as a viable Electric Van contender. In the summer of 2021 Terry moved to Locks4Vans, joining their Executive Team as Commercial Director. Find out more about Locks4Vans at https://www.locks4vans.co.uk
