Mike Gossmann

Michael E. Gossmann, founder and managing member of Amlec, needs no introduction in the electrical, fire safety and security markets. A man of integrity in all of these industries, Michael has excelled as a self-starter, dedicated businessman and mentor. He is goal orientated and dedicated to non-discrimination. For him there is no such thing as a short cut - the only way around a problem is through it. His thorough problem solving skills and ability to see opportunities, ideas and viable solutions that others often overlook, have earned him success in his business endeavours. Those close to Mike describe him as passionate, enthusiastic and determined - qualities confirmed in all his business dealings. Female employees applaud his commitment to empower women in the work place. His team describe him as having the ability to “see” beyond the ordinary person and strongly believe this makes him a powerful leader. The malleable side of Michael’s character is seen in his contribution to charitable organisations and his unfailing support of staff during rough times. Finding fulfilment in his business endeavours by sharing the glory and monetary rewards with his staff and colleagues is a trait not often found in successful businessmen. Strength of character, determination and dedication towards success shines through in many of the stories he has shared about his past with his team. One story tells of him playing a tough game of rugby, against formidable opponents under adverse weather conditions. Mike took a huge tackle and was faced with the choice to cry off injured or get up and tackle back. I think you all know what he did. Michael’s decision and actions that day epitomize the boy he was and the man he was to become. As a man of his word, and his belief in everyone being entitled to chance and opportunity, Michael leads a fine example. Michael continuously ensures that his business offers reliable security, electrical, energy efficiency and fire detection services.
