Citizen of the year 2009

Congratulations to Terry Matthews for taking away the Devonport Citizen of the Year award this year!

We had a well attended mixed night at The Gateway in Fenton street with about 60 people attending. Alderman and Lion Grant Goodwin presented Terry with his award.

Terry survived flying Dakota war-birds for three and a half years in WWII and came back to become a builder apprentice with Jeff Harris Constructions where he learned the ins and outs of construction and engineering through some major projects such as the Edgel vegetable processing plant. Now of course we all know him as Terry from Matthews Constructions. Sticking to his philosophy of life (Health, Lifestyle and Money - in that order) Terry believes that a happy client will make money for the (building) consultant and that means a happy customer and a job well done. His health he attributes to luck, and with it he continues being active in the industry and his community, referring to Retirement as another dirty word. Congratulations Terry!
