Our story began in Hamilton, New Zealand way back in 1938 with a horse named Joe.
When Joe took too much of a liking to using a car as a scratching post, his owner, Bill Gallagher Senior, started looking for a solution. He devised a cunning electrical circuit that delivered a harmless – but startling - shock whenever the horse rocked the vehicle. It quickly cured the problem and sparked the idea for the world’s first electric fence.
Today, Gallagher Security is a global leader in integrated technology solutions that help organizations around the world protect, secure, and manage people and assets.
