Terry Daniels studied Science at Victoria College in the 1950s. He went on to become President and Chairman of Daniels Electronics, the company founded by his father in 1938. Daniels Electronics designed and manufactured customized digital and analogue radio repeater systems capable of working in extreme climates. It was one of Victoria’s longest running businesses and continually expanded into new markets and product lines. The company was also a long-term UVic co-op employer. The company was sold in 2012 to Codan Radio of Australia, which is carrying on at the same location.
