In 2005, Terry took on the challenge of revitalizing Gold Medal Travel (GMTG), transforming it into a profitable entity. After GMT was sold to Thomas Cook for £86.5m, Terry served as CEO of Thomas Cook’s Scheduled Business, managing multiple luxury brands and overseeing a business with a turnover of £1 billion. After accomplishing his objectives, he resigned in 2010.
