Gallagher Europe were among the exhibitors at The Security Event 2025, at the Birmingham NEC for three days last week.
Attending his first TSE event, Gallagher Security, Executive Vice President – Europe, Spencer Marshall, pictured left on the show floor, says: “TSE was a spectacular event, and provided the perfect platform to engage with Channel Partners, End Users, and members of the wider security industry. These opportunities are so valuable to best understand the current and emerging needs of our industry, and to help us to shape the path forward, unlocking even greater value for our users through the power of our people and our solutions.
“Our team was proud to be showcasing some of our most recent cutting-edge innovations which are set to shake up the security industry, and we’re excited to be continually pushing boundaries and exploring what extra value our solutions can unlock. We’re in for an exciting year.”
Visitors to the stand got to see the company’s latest, including the Controller 7000 product range, employee badge in Apple Wallet, perimeter solutions, and the recently released Quick Switch. QuickSwitch gives businesses a pathway to migrate from legacy systems to Gallagher’s security solution. The installation, the firm says, reduces labour costs and minimises disruptions typical of a complex migration process. QuickSwitch helps businesses mitigate risks associated with legacy systems, the manufacturer adds. The product comes in three variants. Coming up is the Command Centre v9.30 release, launching with a suite of other integrations, for securing even remote assets, while delivering oversight, and control.
At the event, Gallagher also received a plaque in recognition of its recent Platinum partnership with the UK skills body Skills for Security, which supports the next generation through their apprenticeships. Gallagher Security European Marketing Manager – Europe, Bethan Thompson says, “As a company with people proudly at the heart of everything we do, our partnership with Skills for Security further acknowledges our commitment to people and remaining future-focused. We know that the power of our success lies in our people, and we are thrilled to be joining forces to empower the next generation of security professionals.”
