When a horse called Joe decided to use the family car as a scratching post back in the 1930s, it inspired Bill Gallagher Senior to solve the problem by electrifying the car. Joe got the message and the concept for the world’s first electric fence system was born.

That innovative drive remains at the heart of Gallagher today.

Now with over 1000 employees worldwide, and customers in over 140 countries, Gallagher is a global leader in the animal management, security, fuel systems and contract manufacturing sectors.

Gallagher’s continued international growth can be attributed to a culture that constantly pushes to discover ground-breaking solutions for its customers. It’s an approach led by CEO Sir William Gallagher, with a large percentage of the group’s revenue reinvested in research & development each year.

Gallagher shows no signs of slowing down, with plenty of growth still to be had in offshore markets. Their continued innovative development in the technology sector tells us this is definitely one New Zealand business to watch.
