Gallagher Asia/Middle East sales team welcomed 2012 with a successful exhibit at the 14th annual Intersec Dubai.

The three-day event featuring 910 exhibitors from over 50 countries is a firmly established regional trade event in the security, safety and protection industries. It provides a platform for an up-to-date reflection of the industry portfolio and to showcase the latest trends.

Business Development Manager Ian Meadow says the attendance of visitors was up from the previous year, and the quality even higher. “The quality of Intersec is up there with IFSEC UK, ISC West and ASIS in the US,” he added.

There is much to be gained from attending large regional trade shows. “Intersec Dubai is very important to us. It is the major security show for the Middle East and we have visitors from all over the region. It gives us the opportunity to connect with our market going forward. We are planning for some good growth this coming financial year [in this region],” says Ian.

The Arabian Gulf is one of the most exciting markets in the world for the security industry. Its security market is worth AED 3.6 billion (US$980 million, NZ$1.18 billion) and is projected to grow at 10% annually. Intersec 2013 is set to take place in January 2013.
