Gallagher Security partners with Skills for Security in UK

Gallagher Security has partnered with Skills for Security in a move designed to support the training of upcoming security professionals in the UK.

The collaboration sees Gallagher Security become a platinum sponsor of Skills for Security, enhancing the latter's efforts to provide apprenticeship training in the Electronic Fire and Security sector across England. Skills for Security is recognised as the leading provider of such training in the UK.

Bethan Thompson, Regional Marketing Manager for Europe at Gallagher Security, highlighted the importance of this partnership. She remarked, "As a company with people proudly at the heart of everything we do, our partnership with Skills for Security further acknowledges our commitment to people and remaining future-focused. We know that the power of our success lies in our people, and we are thrilled to be joining forces to empower the next generation of security professionals."

David Scott, Director of Skills for Security, expressed the significant impact the partnership is expected to have on their programmes. "Our new partnership with Gallagher marks a significant step in our capability to develop the next generation of security professionals. The security industry is facing increasing challenges, and sponsorships like these allow us to ensure the next generation workforce is well-equipped to meet them," he said.

Scott further elaborated on the partnership's benefits, stating, "Gallagher's platinum sponsorship will contribute to Skills for Security's capability to advance professional standards and promote best practice. Through collaborative initiatives and shared resources alongside showcasing the latest security technology, both organisations are committed to supporting talent, driving innovation, and raising the bar for excellence in security education and training."

Thompson also noted the alignment of the partnership with Gallagher's broader goals, saying, "As a platinum partner, working with Skills for Security is brilliant – providing the opportunity to support young people as they begin their careers in the security industry resonates strongly with us, not only as an employer but as a global manufacturer in the security industry. The programmes that David and his team deliver provide a unique platform for apprentices as they shape their security career and aspirations, and we are thrilled to be part of the experience and journey."

Gallagher's engagement as a platinum sponsor marks it as part of a growing trend among industry leaders who are investing in professional development and apprenticeship training. Their support aims to assist Skills for Security in expanding opportunities, updating curricula, and offering practical learning experiences across the UK.

Both Gallagher Security and Skills for Security are set to participate in The Security Event from 8-10 April 2025, where their partnership will likely be a point of interest for attendees in the security sector.
