Meet the brains behind it all—Ryan Wales, owner of Sectek Security, with a rich background in Electronic Security since 2006. He kicked off his journey in Whanganui, serving both residential and commercial clients. As time rolled on, he joined a nationwide security company, handling installations and maintenance for big shots like banks, supermarkets, and logistics companies. His expertise even took him to Australia, where he managed security systems for global players, including a famous beverage company and a popular social networking platform.
During his Aussie stint, Ryan caught the eye of a New Zealand security firm, where he managed key clients, offering enterprise and technical support, and remote management of corporate infrastructure. Fast forward to 2021, and Sectek Security was born. Ryan’s driving force? A commitment to fair and honest service, coupled with superior workmanship, ensuring reliable installations and service you can count on.
Fast forward to 2024, and Sectek Security continues to support its local Whanganui and Manawatu clients while expanding to manage several large commercial sites. Despite this growth, Sectek Security remains dedicated to providing exceptional, service and support as it advances the business. In recognition of his contributions, Ryan was nominated for SME Security Technician of the Year in 2024, a true testament to the passion and driving force behind Sectek.
By 2025, Sectek Security has firmly established itself as a trusted provider across Whanganui and Manawatū, taking on more complex commercial projects and expanding its service offering. This included the rollout of advanced AI‑driven CCTV monitoring, giving clients smarter detection, faster alerts, and improved oversight across their sites. Sectek also introduced several new technologies during this period, further strengthening its capability to deliver modern, future‑ready security solutions., multi‑site access control management, and remote system monitoring for clients who needed reliable, around the clock oversight.
Despite the growth, Sectek’s core values remained unchanged: fair service, honest advice, and workmanship that stands the test of time. The company’s reputation for reliability and technical precision continued to attract new clients, reinforcing Sectek’s position as a leading independent security provider in the region.
