Inspired by the exploits of Sir Bradley Wiggins in the tour de France and Olympics, Terry became a born again cyclist taking part in several sportives including Manchester to Blackpool, Etape Caledonia and the Coast to Coast cycle route cycling from Whitehaven to Sunderland.

Terry also attempts to play guitar in his spare time, where opinion is divided as to his ability. Terry continues to play nonetheless.

Terry Griffin and David Edwards acted quickly and effectively.

I instructed Harrison Drury’s Regulatory team after the Police were threatening to freeze my bank account, pending investigation into my business. I was also being investigated by The Gambling Commission.

This involved a substantial amount of money, and had potentially serious consequences for me and my business. The matter was complicated by the fact that there were a number of banking and payment service institutions involved.

They negotiated with the police and the financial institutions’ legal teams, reaching a settlement which was satisfactory to all parties, enabling to me to continue my business and saving me from potentially very severe financial consequences.
