Ryan opened his first shop, Penneys, in Dublin more than 50 years ago after he was given the task of creating a discount clothing store by his boss.
Just over 10 years later he opened up in Britain, calling the shop Primark to avoid a legal battle with US brand JC Penney.
Primark went on to become a household name, bringing 'cheap chic' to the UK High Street with a total of 370 stores across 12 different countries.
Ryan, often described as a workaholic, was chief executive until 2009, stepping into the chairman's seat where he remained until his death. He oversaw a huge expansion of the business, which took annual sales to £2billion a year.
