“I’m truly honoured to have received the Visionary Leadership Award” said Sir William Gallagher, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of Gallagher. “While technology and innovation are integral to our success, it’s people who are at the heart of what we do. We have an outstanding team at Gallagher, some of the brightest minds in the world, in my opinion. To be recognised for leading our people and for continuing to successfully lead the business that my father started, really means a great deal to me” Sir William said.
In addition to the Visionary Leadership Award, Gallagher also won the Best Product of the Year Award for their innovative Type A Alarm solution. The Type A innovation delivers the highest level of electronic intruder detection to the New Zealand Government and armed forces.
