I have been Managing Director of Henry Brothers (Magherafelt) Ltd. since 2000. The company generally operates in the commercial construction market for a variety of government and private clients and forms part of the Henry Group of Companies based in Magherafelt. I have lived in Magherafelt all my life and am married to Diane, we have 3 children. I joined the family business on completing my formal education and worked initially as a site operative before progressing through supervisory and management roles to my current position as Managing Director. I firmly believe that training and development of personnel are key factors to company progression and expansion. My own commitment to development has included achieving Fellowship status of the CIOB and gaining the Institute of Directors Certificate in Company Direction. I have served as a co-opted member on the Rainey Endowed School Board of Governors since January 2014 and am the current Chairman of the Property and Development sub Committee. As Chairman I am a member of the Executive Committee reporting directly to the Board of Governors on all aspects relating to Property and Development within the school. I am keen to share the knowledge and experience I have gained through my business and management career. I am dedicated to utilise my talents for the benefit of the school, its staff and students.
