Former Numark MD Terry Norris dies

TERRY NORRIS, formerly managing director of Numark, died on 15 August, aged 63 years, after a long battle with bowel cancer.

Mr Norris joined Numark in 1989 and oversaw its transition from a wholesale-based voluntary trading association into an industrial and provident society, owned by independent community pharmacists. Since Mr Norris retired last year, Numark has become an unlisted public limited company.

David Wood, who succeeded Mr Norris as managing director, said: "Terry was an indomit-able person who made an outstanding contribution not only to this company, but also to independent pharmacy. His passion for community pharmacy was legendary and it was this that drove his direction of Numark.

"Terry much valued his time working with pharmacists, describing it as the most enjoyable 13 years in his career. For me, I will miss his infectious, almost boyish optimism which affected everybody within Numark and beyond."
