Bryan Keating, Chair of MATRIX said
“On behalf of MATRIX, I extend my condolences to the family of Lord Ballyedmond and to all the staff who work in his companies. He was an inspirational figure, who achieved much for the Northern Ireland economy in the field of science and technology.
“From relatively humble beginnings he transformed the economic landscape of Newry and the whole of Northern Ireland with the success of his veterinary pharmaceuticals company, Norbrook Laboratories. His legacy will remain the international success of his various business interests and his commitment to investing in Northern Ireland.”
