Gallagher takes double honours at the New Zealand Outstanding Security Performance Awards

Hamilton, New Zealand – Gallagher Security has received two major wins at the New Zealand Outstanding Security Performance Awards (NZ OSPAs), with Business Development Manager Harriet Sommerville named Outstanding Female Security Professional and AccessNow recognised as Outstanding New Security Product.

Wayne Scott, General Manager – NZ Sales, says the two awards reflect Gallagher’s continued investment in leadership and innovation across the security industry.

“We are thrilled to celebrate Harriet’s win, highlighting her outstanding contribution to raising standards across New Zealand’s security sector,” says Wayne.

With more than 15 years of experience spanning manufacturing, distribution, and integration, Harriet has built a reputation for delivering strong results, solving complex customer challenges, and fostering long-term partnerships.

“Harriet is one of the most respected and capable professionals in our industry,” says Wayne.

“Harriet leads with integrity, supports those around her, and raises the bar for what great partnership looks like. She is an outstanding ambassador for Gallagher and for the wider industry. This recognition is incredibly well deserved.”

AccessNow, Gallagher’s cloud-native Software-as-a-Service solution for physical access management, was recognised for its ability to streamline how organisations manage access across people, sites, and systems.
