Nick Terry was born on 24 March 1960 in Corby.

His parents moved to Birmingham when he was just a year old. They divorced when he was ten and he moved to the Cotswolds with his mother and his older brother. He moved back to live with his Dad four years later and has remained living in the Midlands ever since.

At 17 he started his own Courier Company and by the age of 42 he sold the business, which at that time was employing just under two hundred staff.
