Terry Gasking
Terry is a very experienced management consultant and has enjoyed working with 350+ clients and more than 20,000 Directors, Managers, Staff and Payroll Employees in his career to date.
By mid 1970s he was qualified in Accounting, Computing and Management and he specialised in the design and implementation of sound management systems.
He rapidly rose through line management to the position of Finance Director and onto his own Financial Consultancy.
In the 1980s he spent three years lecturing in Finance and Computing at University, followed by 7 years as an outside lecturer and tutor with one of Europe’s top Management Colleges. He has completed many consultancy tasks with companies large and small and for the past 20 years he has often been described as ‘One of the world’s leading experts at ‘sweating’ the assets of a company’, be they fixed assets, working capital, people, or a combination of all three. Terry prefers to think of his work as helping client’s staff to a level of financial awareness that enhances their performance and maximizes their management and staff motivation.
The result is vast amounts of money pouring into client’s bank accounts, control of the amounts pouring out, increased profitability, financial control, and enhanced staff motivation and moral.
Terry Gasking’s ‘Business Management Program’ has been run extremely successfully more than 300 times in many parts of the world. It has been the catalyst that has rejuvenated many companies and helped many successful companies to self-fund their development and expansion.
In the 2000s he began to limit his consultancy, and made more time to lecture, write, golf, walk, and garden. Terry is a very happy person who loves walking his dogs (Labradors) across the fields and into the hills and thoroughly enjoys his work, golf and the companionship of friends.
Barbara Stewart
At the age of 82 Barbara asked for advice from Terry Gasking on how she could achieve a lifetime ambition – to write a book.
There started an adventure in which Barbara chronicled a lifetime on the stage and on TV. She had danced on stage in pre-war England at Shepherds Bush and Hackney Empires danced at the famous London Palladium; danced in the Blitz and summer season at Blackpool. and entertained the troops throughout the rest of the war in the U.K., Africa, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Germany mostly on makeshift stages; with the dancers delivered from the back of the truck; often with no more than a curtain for a dressing room; Then came the post-war years, trying to make a success of civilian life in a number of jobs with triumph and tragedy through to when she started appearing as an ‘Extra’ on a multitude of TV shows.
Her book ‘Barbara – Dancing through Life...’ was first published in 2007 when Barbara was 83 years young (and still a better dancer than you or I?).
