Gallagher believes that there is much to be gained by creating an environment for discussing best practices, technological trends, and improving the security industry’s ability to generate bottom line corporate value.

The company has demonstrated this through www.gallaghersecure.com, a business community for security and they will expand this practice further at ASIS in Orlando this year by introducing a new booth designed to be an education forum.

“This is not meant to be an infomercial for Gallagher,” stated Jack Turley, VP of Sales & Marketing for the company. “Rather, this is intended to be the go-to booth for conference attendees to get a quick education on the most important industry trends that will be affecting their companies. All speakers are well known industry thought leaders, and the only rule we impose on them is that there be no mention of products or companies so as to keep presentations independent.”

Topics and speakers include Sal D’Agostino of IDmachines discussing Identity Management, Jeffrey Slotnick of Setracon talking about Corporate Compliance and Resilience, and Dan Dunkel of New Era Associates discussing Mobile Platform Security. Additional topics include Security Cloud Strategy, The Intelligent Perimeter, and Shared Services Strategy. Speakers for these additional subjects will be announced shortly.

“These aren’t Gallagher’s topics,” said Turley. “We asked industry experts what they thought were the most important subjects that ASIS attendees should become familiar with, and they created this list of topics. We are very pleased to have assembled such an impressive list of security industry experts to speak at the classroom section of our new booth.”

Security opportunities in the Gulf are rising and Gallagher's access management products are playing a part in the providing a security solution.

Gallagher welcomes newest addition to its Asia security sales team

Newest Business Development Manager Jacky Chow sees huge opportunities for Gallagher in Asia, especially in China and India.

“They are developing countries which will have a lot of buildings, factories, infrastructure and utilities built following the economic growth,” says Jacky.

His attraction to pursuing a career at Gallagher came from his belief in its products, as well as Gallagher’s focus on the Asian market. His last role was at Schneider Electric (Hong Kong) as a sales manager, responsible for selling and providing technical support for the security products and BMS partner business in Hong Kong and Macau.

For Gallagher he will be covering Hong Kong, Macau and China; developing business contacts and supporting the channel partners for the region.

Through his new role at Gallagher, Jacky hopes to further his career in the security industry by being recognised as an expert in the market. “I want everyone who needs a security system to think of me and Gallagher products first. Moreover, I hope to have my partners and clients recognise me as a security system professional who can provide a solution they need”.

Jacky has spent a full week at the Hamilton Gallagher Head Office, learning all the ins and outs of different departments and the structure of the organisation. “I am very happy to be a member at Gallagher. My first impression of the organisational architecture is that it is simple and direct. All colleagues are nice and helpful.”
