Terry O’Halloran was coauthor of a major report in 1977, which took him, through the National Federation of Self Employed and the injustice of the class IV National Insurance tax on the selfemployed, to the courts in Strasbourg. He won his cause against the British government. The class 4 levy was reduced from 8% to 5%.
This was the man in 1994 who took on the Consumers’ Association at his own cost in order to prove that injustice often emanated from those endeavouring to do most good.
Terry O’Halloran honed his public speaking and debating skills in Junior Chamber but put them to good use in a large number of organisations speaking around the world on a variety of topics usually linked to his core profession of financial planning; but often moving out into transport and safety issues and latterly the unacceptable price of overbearing regulation. He is a Professional Speakers Association chapter president.
Terry is a writer who speaks. A prolific author of technical works on trusts, pensions, life assurance and investments but he also sallies forth into areas of general interest producing a Squadron history, for 31 Squadron, for which he has a passion as an exAir Force Engineer, and delving into some of the more devious antics of politicians, regulators and civil servants, as well as castigating the media for their complicity, in his book “If Only Politicians Had Brains”. Statistics are his staple diet .
Described by some as a loose canon and others as an Exocet, here is an individual that finds his mark more often than not, through dogged persistence and working against the odds. When others were denigrating endowments, Terry was defending them. History has proved him right. When the great pension debate and the misselling scandal came to the fore in 1994, here was the man with his calculator, wit and acidic comment, to bring the arguments into perspective on 6 university campuses.
He has led the Chamber of Commerce in Lincoln as its president, served on the executive and became vice president of the Life Insurance Association, has worked as a tutor, mentor, and examiner; in the Chartered Insurance Institute, Institute of Financial Planning and the Life Insurance Association. Terry O’Halloran is a grounded, wellrounded individual who has made his mark in local, national and international fora.
Terry has worked with ‘Young Enterprise’ as an adviser, and judge, to youngsters running their own businesses.vizualizați mai puține
