Terry White, entrepreneur Terry White Chemists cofounder and chairman Terry White has been named Champion of Entrepreneurship by professional services firm Ernst & Young. The 2013 EY Entrepeneur of the Year Awards winners were held at a ceremony in Brisbane, with White honoured for “pioneering a new approach to make pharmacy ownership more accessible to graduating pharmacists”.
