William Gallagher is a startup investor at Gallagher. Sir William Gallagher is the Chairman and CEO of Gallagher Group Ltd and employs over 1000 people worldwide, 600 mainly in the Waikato region and a further 400 off shore. The seed for the organisation was sown back in the thirties when Joe the horse would scratch its rear end on the family Essex. Sir William’s father attached a magneto to awound-up rubber band triggering a device which would electrify the car each time it rocked – in two days the problem was solved. Sir William joined the family company in 1962 and the company turnover doubled every year between 1972 and 1976.Putting money into research and development and consumer education made the difference – in the US alone there were at one time, 140 other manufacturers.Still very involved in the daily operation, he maintains regular contact with customers in the 130 countries in which Gallagher products are sold spending up to 150 days a year on the road representing the company and its philosophies, communicating across language and social barriers, while also emphasising the ethics and integrity of his professional and personal dealings. The NZ companies has now reached a turnover of $M200 and continues to grow its exports despite a very challenging environment.
