New Farm - Terry White & Tony Koch
6:00 pm, Monday, 22nd of March 2010
More Info  »»

 
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 to receive a better education.
The young pharmacy graduate endured 73 interviews before he found a pharmacist who would waive the apprenticeship fee - and White has never looked back.

His first pharmacy was followed by marriage to Rhonda, and five children. Not content with a focus on business, 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 the Liberal leadership to fight the 1983 election on a platform of electoral justice and public accountability.

Terry White Chemists have been trailblazing pharmacies in a conservative profession. The Whites faced strong opposition and yet created an incredibly successful franchise model, which remains an invaluable tool 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.
