Publishers Description: New Zealanders are constantly exhorted to take a clever idea and go global. Easier said than done. But one iconic company has been doing just that for over 75 years. The Gallagher Group began in a Hamilton shed in the late 1930s, when a self-taught engineer, Bill Gallagher, came up with a design for an electric fence that helped to transform New Zealand farming.His sons took over the business in the 1970s, and Bill junior brought the business savvy and driving ambition that would turn it into one of New Zealand’s most successful companies. Today it employs 1000 staff in New Zealand and around the world, and its animal containment and security products are sold worldwide. Even Buckingham Palace is protected by a Gallagher security system.Gallagher products are world leading, and the company’s achievement the stuff of envy. And along the way Bill Gallagher, now Sir William, has managed to have plenty of adventure — including diving for sunken treasure with Wade Doak and the late Kelly Tarlton. This fascinating book shows how Kiwi can-do can be transformed into global success — for the long haul.
