Not sure why this is marked as an artist stub - he's not an artist, is he? (Except in the very broad sense that designers are artists.) Ben Finn 10:21, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If there are enough articles for a {{designer-stub}} template, you can make one, but meanwhile it is more likely to be found by interested editors this way than with a generic stub tag. - Uppland 10:37, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

=Blueprint Magazine

Have removed (promotional?) links to Blueprint magazine - giving his friends £2000 to help fund a magazine does not make him a "co-founder", and he has no links at all with the present magazine in its "new era". ExLibre (talk) 09:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wives?

It ought to name the three wives, with dates of marriage and divorce. 86.184.142.75 (talk) 07:47, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Next Plc

In the article on Next plc it says, "In 1982 Hepworth & Son acquired Kendall & Sons Ltd, a Leicester-based rainwear and ladies fashion company from Combined English Stores. The intention was to redevelop the Kendall's stores as a womenswear chain of shops. Terence Conran, the designer, was Chairman of Hepworth's at this time and he recruited George Davies, who went on to become Chief Executive of Next." So Sir Terence also had a hand in creating Britain's largest (since 2012) clothing company. I guess this should be mentioned.

Massively underplaying the importance here

I think this is massively underplaying TC's role in helping to define the taste of the post-war generations in the UK and his influence further afield – from Habitat to multiple restaurant businesses + Festival of Britain, Design Museum and so on – I've added some tags I think are appropriate on this page and will also look at the article over the next week or so to add a bit more authority and clearer explanation of his activities. It really does need inline citations. Libby norman (talk) 17:22, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
