“Since joining his father in the family business in 1969, Terence has over the last 50 years led the Donnelly Group through its expansion, with a simple business ethos of ‘keeping the customer central to everything we do’.

“Terence has always been an innovator, placing Donnelly Group at the centre of change in an ever evolving industry. In 2010, he was one of the founding members of the Northern Ireland e-Car consortium which provided the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

“Terence received this award not only for his business contribution to Mid Ulster but also for his community efforts. The Donnelly Group takes seriously its responsibility to the areas in which we operate and there is a long tradition in investing in the local community.”
