KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa – Gallagher Security is set to boost the African security market with its upcoming Command the Future KwaZulu-Natal showcase, an immersive event with a focus on fostering education, sharing industry insights, and driving collaboration across the African security sector.

After the success of the inaugural Command the Future event in Cape Town, the Gallagher Security Africa team are excited to take the action to the KwaZulu-Natal region in 2026.
“Our second Command the Future event reiterates Gallagher’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the wider KwaZulu-Natal region and building market momentum through connection, insight, and hands-on engagement,” says Morne.

“We’re excited to bring Command the Future to KwaZulu-Natal, where the region’s security community can connect, learn, and experience the power of Gallagher’s ecosystem firsthand.”
Through interactive sessions and real-world case studies, attendees will gain insight into Gallagher’s products and solutions, Care Plan and support initiatives, as well as upcoming training opportunities in the region.
Morne says this will mark the third event the Gallagher Security Africa team has hosted in the KwaZulu-Natal region, and the team is looking forward to connecting with the wider security industry again.
“We are also boosting our presence in the region through strategic new hires, including Patrick McDowell who brings over 30 years of security industry experience to Gallagher, joining the team as Technical BDM based in Durban. His role focuses on growing the KwaZulu-Natal region while supporting colleagues in the Western and Eastern Cape,” says Morne.
