Terry Jermy

Thetford born & schooled, Terry is passionate about Thetford and has family links to the area stretching back many generations. He is involved in numerous local groups including being the Chairman of the Charles Burrell Centre Board, a Trustee of the Thetford Community Association and was elected to Thetford Town Council aged 22 in 2008. Terry was elected  Mayor of Thetford for the 2016/17 Mayoral year and he is believed to be the youngest Mayor of Thetford in its more than 800 years of a Mayoralty. Terry also serves on Breckland District Council and Norfolk County Council. He is an avid social media user with an online blog – www.jermysjournal.blogspot.com and on Twitter via @CllrTerryJermy

Terry was approached by the previous owners of the About Thetford magazine in 2014 and asked if he wished to take over the business so that they could retire. Despite being particularly busy already he agreed to the new challenge as he wanted to see the magazine continue and develop further as it is such an important resource locally. Terry convinced his brother and sister to join him and establish a new Ltd Company (In and About Thetford Ltd) which purchased the publishing rights to the magazine.

Terry produced the first magazine under the new ownership in November 2014 and has served as Editor since that time. During this time the magazine has grown and developed further with 12,500 magazines now printed every month and the delivery area extended to include more of the rural area surrounding Thetford. There have been new features added and he is always thinking creatively with each issue.
