Ray Carey
Ray has a passionate forCentral Otago's natural and historic wealth in a highly visual way.
He is particularly keen for others to experience these special points of difference and as the judges noted, he has been promoting them, at his own expense, something he began doing, intrinsically, for a very long time. The judges were impressed by Ray’s genuine drive to do good in the community and through his business Terrace Distributors (1985) Ltd.
Ray is keen to encourage others to experience the region’s magnificent natural and historic wealth and has actively sought to do this through his community work and in his business, Terrace Distributors Ltd.
In 1998 Ray commissioned a 20 metre by 3 metre scene entitled, Alexandra Bridge in Autumn for the side of a semi-trailer on one of his trucks, along with the ‘World of Difference’ logo. Since then Ray has accumulated 14 images on his trucks that feature iconic Central Otago scenes. This mobile gallery promotes our region across 1.4 million kilometres through Otago, Southland and Canterbury every year.
Ray is a hard worker with a quiet demeanour who has consistently embraced the brand, engaging his 45 employees in the process; and leading by example, sharing and inspiring others of all ages in all aspects of his life.
