OFFICIAL PROGRAMME

SATURDAY 22 MAY, 7.05PM FMG STADIUM

– 1 – – 1 – Dear Reader,

We know that you know we’ve been taking care of Kiwi farmers since the 1930s … but DID YOU ALSO KNOW that we’re pretty big in the security and fuel systems industries too?

With over 800 team members on our sites (and more than 1000 Security globally), our solutions can be found in over 160 countries.

If you’re a farmer then you’ll likely already know how our smart farm systems help you. But DID YOU ALSO KNOW that our world beating security platforms look after students, office workers, nurses, doctors, patients, prison officers, bankers, miners and many, many more, all over the globe.

Be it keeping the lights on by protecting the UK’s national power infrastructure, Animal the iron ore flowing in Western Australia or Management providing instant lockdown at Harrisburg District school in South Dakota, our high tech access control takes care of people just about everywhere you can think of.

And we even provide fuel dispensers for around 80 per cent of fuel retailers throughout Australasia.

To say we’re proudly powered from New Zealand is an understatement.

We hope you enjoy today’s game! Fuel The team at Gallagher Systems
