The Terry White Story
Paperback
Publication Date: 01/02/2010
From Liberal parliamentary leader to Australia's franchising guru - this is the story of Terry White In A Prescription for Change- The Terry White Story, veteran journalist Tony Koch colourfully charts the drive, integrity and family support that have guided White through a fascinating life in business and politics. Growing up in a poor family, Terry White showed ambition from a young age, enrolling himself in a private school - initially without his parents' knowledge - to receive a better education. The young pharmacy graduate endured 73 interviews before he found a pharmacist who would waive the GBP20 apprenticeship fee - and White has never looked back. White bought his first pharmacy in 1958 before heading overseas - it was then while working on John F Kennedy's presidential campaign that he got a taste of politics. White entered politics in 1979, becoming a Queensland Cabinet Minister in 1980. Concern at that time about Joh Bjelke-Petersen's corrupt regime saw him take over and lead the Liberal party into the 1983 election. As a businessman, White has created an incredibly successful franchise model with Terry White Chemists, which remains an invaluable model for anyone wanting to operate a franchise business. This enthralling biography of one of Australia's business leaders provides insight into his success while also revealing the family man behind the brand.
