Joseph Terry
Sir Joseph Terry (7 January 1828 – 12 January 1898) was a British confectioner, industrialist and Conservative politician who served as Lord Mayor of York on three occasions. He had previously served as a deputy mayor under Liberal Member of Parliament George Leeman through his role as town sheriff in 1870, and had been a Councillor for York's Monk Ward from 1860 until this appointment. He also served as Justice of the Peace for both the City of York and the North Riding of Yorkshire simultaneously from 1887 until his death.
Terry was seen as a driving force behind the success of the confectionery company Terry's. He is known to have expanded business operations through the use of the Humber Estuary to import essential commodities such as sugar and cocoa. Terry had also registered the trademark 'Joseph Terry's and Sons' in 1876, which would later become incorporated under his chairmanship in 1895 as 'Joseph Terry & Sons Ltd.', three years before his death at the age of 70 in 1898, during an attempt to become Member of Parliament for the City of York constituency in a by-election.
==Early life==
Terry was born in Pocklington, to the confectioner and co-founder of Terry's of York, Joseph Terry and his wife Harriet Atkinson, the daughter of a successful farmer from Leppington, North Yorkshire, and sister-in-law to his father's initial business partner, Robert Berry. He was educated at the independent St Peter's School, York due to the family's wealth obtained from the confectionery industry. Such wealth had arisen after Terry's of York had advantageously located to St Helen's Square, in the very centre of York, meaning that business would benefit greatly from the City's intake of 30,000 shoppers and tourists daily, as a result of significant developments in rail travel.
Unlike his father, who according to his 1865 memoirs "suffered for want of proper nourishment" in childhood, it is thought that Terry had a comfortable upbringing, with his father's business being well established by the time of his birth. This was due to considerable business acumen and the usage of the expanding North East Railway Network to supply his products to a growing British-wide market during the 1830s. He established retail agencies in 75 settlements, mainly in the north, but also in the Midlands, Luton and London.〔 In 1836, he was a leading figure in establishing a trade association in London to protect the quality of lozenges and confectionery products from inferior production standards.〔 And at the time of his death, the business had 127 staff, second only to the York glass works as the city's largest employer.
