Most businesses eventually face a moment of reckoning. These moments can often serve as a catalyst to help that business define its purpose, and unite its people and resources behind it. As the custodian of the eponymous Anglepoise brand, Chairman Simon Terry has spent the last two decades preparing this 90 year old business to light the way for future generations of customers. In 2001 Simon Terry left a successful career as a film compositor in Visual Effects, working on a range of blockbuster movies, including James Bond, Zorro and Les Miserables, to join the family business, Anglepoise®. As Joint Managing Director, he has been responsible for transforming the company into a dynamic, design-driven business, collaborating with Sir Kenneth Grange, Britain’s most successful Industrial Designer. He has also set up long-term collaborations with the fashion world including designers such as Margaret Howell and Paul Smith. Over the past 21 years, Simon has seen the business grow significantly, both in retail and contract sectors with significant exports around the globe.
