Joint Managing Directors Jake Rackham and Mark Corrigan have returned from Intersec 2026 in Dubai, the world’s leading security, safety and fire protection trade event, with reinforced partnerships, new product insights, and accelerated plans for Evolution’s expansion.
The visit proved valuable not just for EMEA operations, but for laying critical groundwork for Evolution’s growing presence across the globe.
Strengthening Key Technology Partnerships
Intersec provided Evolution’s leadership team with the opportunity to reconnect with strategic technology partners and explore the latest product developments. The team met with key manufacturers including Honeywell, Axis, Milestone, Genetec, Suprema, AMAG, Commend/TKH Security, JCI/C-CURE, Sharry, Hanwha, and Gallagher, building relationships and gaining early insight into upcoming product releases.
Of particular interest were in-depth discussions with Suprema, AMAG, Commend, and Sharry around exciting new technology developments and upcoming product releases that align closely with Evolution’s strategic direction.
The team also took time to explore the Fire and Health & Safety halls, keeping abreast of developments across the broader life safety landscape.
A Platform for Global Growth
Beyond the exhibition floor, Intersec served as a hub for high-level business discussions. Evolution’s leadership met with senior representatives from Wesco Anixter, the company’s largest distribution partner. The rare face to face opportunity with leadership from across Australia, Spain, Ireland, the US, and Dubai allowed for in-depth discussions about Evolution’s growth trajectory and expansion plans.
An invitation only event hosted by AMAG brought together partners to preview exciting product developments that align closely with Evolution’s strategic direction. The event also provided valuable networking opportunities with industry peers.
The trip also included a productive meeting with Progress Security, one of Evolution’s key delivery partners across EMEA, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, reinforcing the strong working relationship between the two organisations.
Global Expansion Gains Pace
While the primary focus was EMEA business, the visit generated significant momentum for Evolution’s US operations. Conversations throughout the week resulted in additional meetings now scheduled during Mark Corrigan’s upcoming US visit, including discussions with Wesco Anixter regarding US distribution support and a meeting with the CEO of Progress Security, who will be in the US meeting one of their key manufacturing partners.
“All in all, a full-on trip with lots to take away,” commented Jake Rackham. “We’re looking forward to a busy and positive 2026.”
As Jake stays in the UK for Evolution’s end of Q3 sales meeting, Mark heads to the US to meet with one of the company’s global customers, continuing the momentum generated in Dubai.
