Gallagher Security appoints Jon Liaros as Business Development Manager to support growth in NSW/ACT region

AUSTRALIA – Global security manufacturer, Gallagher Security continues to strengthen its presence in the newly amalgamated NSW/ACT region, with the appointment of Jon Liaros as Business Development Manager (BDM).

Joining the team earlier this month on 13 January, Jon brings 25 years' experience in the security industry, contributing to our continued growth in the NSW/ACT region.

Starting his career as a technician, Jon has worked for some of the industry’s most notable organisations including HID Global, Avigilon, Hills Limited, and Allegion where we honed his skills in technical sales, account management, and regional leadership. 

Gallagher Security National Sales Manager – Australia, Scott Johnstone says, “We are thrilled to have someone of Jon’s calibre joining the team, and at such an exciting time for the NSW/ACT region. Throughout his career Jon has demonstrated his expertise and dedication to the industry, and his vast experience across various sectors and enthusiasm for the industry will be an asset to the region and the wider Australian business.”

Of his appointment Jon says, “Joining a company renowned for its trusted and highly regarded access control systems is both an honor and a privilege. Gallagher’s unwavering commitment to delivering reliable and innovative solutions sets the stage for an exciting and rewarding journey ahead.”

He adds, “Looking ahead to 2025, Gallagher is ready to push the boundaries, leveraging cutting-edge technology and fostering strong industry partnerships to drive continued growth and success. The future is bright, and the opportunity to contribute to this outstanding brand’s legacy is one that is embraced with enthusiasm.”

Gallagher Security’s Executive Vice President for Asia Pacific and India, Middle East, and Africa (APAC and IMEA), Craig Schutte says, “After a significant year of growth and success across Australia in 2024, we are poised and excited for what this year will bring. The strength of our regional teams means we are well placed to continue unlocking greater value through the power of our solutions for our customers across Australia.”

Gallagher announced in December the merger of the NSW and ACT regions under the leadership of new State Manager David Issa, bringing the strength of two states under one umbrella.

Of the merger, Scott says, “We are committed to enhancing the partner and End User experience, and the merging of the two states will enable Gallagher to scale our in-region teams more effectively, responding to growth opportunities as required.”
