Terry Warman
Volunteer / BOB Ambassador
"Shaped by resilience, responsibility and lived experience, Terry is driven by a simple but powerful belief - men deserve spaces where they can speak honestly, feel understood and never suffer in silence.
From a young age, Terry recognised that he experienced the world differently. He learned to channel intensity, drive and restless energy into ambition and leadership — building businesses, leading teams and pursuing vision with focus and determination. Professionally, that focus brought success. Personally, however, there was often an unspoken sense that something beneath the surface was harder to navigate.
That understanding deepened when his eldest daughter was diagnosed with neurodivergence at just seven years old. In her, Terry saw reflections of himself — traits he had spent a lifetime managing quietly through work, momentum, and constant forward motion. It was a moment of clarity that reshaped how he viewed both himself and fatherhood.
Today, Terry is a proud father to two incredible daughters, aged 8 and 15 and is supported by a strong, understanding wife who has stood beside him through every chapter. His family remains his grounding force — each of them uniquely different in personality, teaching him daily about patience, empathy, and perspective.
For many years, Terry battled alcoholism. What he later came to understand was that alcohol had become a coping mechanism — a way of regulating neurological traits, quieting internal noise, and chasing endorphins in an unhealthy way. After a series of painful and life-altering alcohol-related events, Terry made the decision four years ago to become sober.
That decision changed everything.
In sobriety, Terry discovered that what he had been searching for was not escape — but connection. He began speaking openly with other men navigating pressure, addiction, identity struggles, and mental health challenges. Through honest conversations and shared experience, he found a healthier source of purpose and fulfilment. He now believes that healing often begins the moment a man realises he is not alone.
Professionally, Terry brings over two decades of board-level leadership across energy, construction, and engineering. As Managing Director and Co-Founder of Surrey Energy Centre Ltd, he built a trusted high-street renewable energy hub delivering practical decarbonisation solutions while working closely with councils, funding bodies, and communities to create meaningful impact. His leadership is grounded in accountability, governance, and service.
Alongside this, Terry leads XLR8 MEP Design Ltd, supporting developers and commercial clients in delivering complex building and infrastructure projects. Working within high-pressure environments, he understands first-hand the responsibility many men carry — to provide, to perform, and to appear strong regardless of what is happening internally.
Beyond business, Terry is committed to community and education — delivering energy and sustainability sessions in schools, supporting local initiatives, and volunteering in environmental stewardship projects. He believes strength is not simply about achievement, but about contribution.
As an ambassador for Band of Brothers, Terry stands for a modern definition of strength — one rooted in self-awareness, accountability, vulnerability, and growth.
He believes men do not need fixing — they need understanding.
They do not need judgement — they need space.
And they do not need to carry everything alone.
Terry’s message is clear:
True strength is not the absence of struggle — it is the courage to confront it, speak about it, and walk forward together."
