The Gallagher Way | Gallagher AU

As proud as we are of our growth, we're more proud that we've been able to maintain Gallagher's unique culture as we move into new markets and new lines. It's a culture of ethics and service. One of collaboration in a common interest — the best interest of every client, everywhere. And it's summed up in the 25 tenets of The Gallagher Way.

Our then chairman, Robert E. Gallagher, wrote them down in his own hand over a generation ago. Today, you'll find them in each Gallagher office around the world. What's more, you'll find them informing the actions we undertake every day.
