Ronan Mackey was born in Derry, Northern Ireland or North Ireland as he prefers to say it.
A son of a catholic family, Ronan has four brothers and an older sister. His parents moved out to Australia in the late 60s but his mother missed home so much that the moved back after 3 years. Sadly, his mother passed away suddenly when Ronan was 17.
He went on to study in Manchester before his father encouraged him to go to Australia and live out the dream his father had. After a stint as a backpacker, Ronan met a Scottish lady in the Whitsundays and after returning to the UK, they got married and had a daughter.
But Ronan was aching to get back to Australia and eventually the opportunity presented itself and they moved to Darwin.
After cycling through a few jobs, Ronan landed his dream role; Business Development Manager at the Northern Territory Chamber of Commerce. This is Ronan’s Territory Story.
