UNITED KINGDOM. Organiser of The Security Event – Nineteen Group – has presented President and Executive Director of the Gallagher Group, Sir William Gallagher with an award that recognises his incredible ‘Contribution to the Security Industry’.

The award comes as the Gallagher Group celebrates its 85th anniversary.
On receiving the ‘Contribution to the Security Industry’ accolade, Sir William said:
“What an honour to receive this award. Over the course of my career, I have been privileged to have been able to build upon the company that my father set up back in 1938.

“No one sets a higher standard in the security industry than Gallagher Security. As the Gallagher Group celebrates our 85th anniversary, I am immensely proud of the company culture we have cultivated – a culture of excellence, a culture of innovation, and a culture of challenging ourselves to go further to solve critical, real-world problems”.

Without reservation, I believe Sir William is the rightful recipient of the inaugural ‘Contribution to the Security Industry Award’.

Sir William’s expertise and knowledge have been instrumental in helping the industry adapt to changing technologies and emerging threats, and his leadership has inspired many others to follow in his footsteps. We are honoured to recognise Sir William’s contributions and look forward to his continued impact on the security industry for years to come.”
Also in attendance at The Security Event this year was Gallagher Security’s Regional Manager for the UK and Europe, Richard Huison. Speaking about Gallagher’s experience at the show, Richard said:

From Gallagher’s point of view, it’s exciting to hear the conversations about integrated security solutions being at the forefront of solving business problems now and into the future.”
