Sir William Gallaghers vision and legacy honoured with National Fieldays Life Membership
Sir William Gallagher has been awarded a National Fieldays Life Membership in recognition of his decades-long contribution to the event and New Zealand’s agri-tech industry.
Sir William has been a part of Fieldays since its inception, playing a pivotal role in its foundation alongside other influential farmers in New Zealand. Gallagher’s presence at the very first Fieldays in Te Rapa in 1969 was a milestone moment, as the company was already emerging as a leader in farm technology and export markets. Sir William, alongside his brother John, had been exhibiting at agricultural field days in Australia before 1968 and was an early advocate for establishing a national event in New Zealand.
A champion of agricultural innovation, Sir William has been instrumental in Gallagher’s success at Fieldays, using the event as a platform to introduce world-first products, engage with farmers, and showcase the company’s latest technological advancements.
