Magenta Security was established to provide high quality, bespoke staffed security services to demanding and discerning customers throughout the UK. As a security supplier to some of the country’s most well known companies, customer care is at the centre of our business strategy. We have highlighted in previous articles how we nurture long term relationships with our customers to better understand their security needs. We aim to go above and beyond the call of duty and we offer additional services […]

In this blog post, we’re going to be looking at who Magenta are. It may sound as though we’re blowing our own trumpet a little but sometimes, it’s important to remember who we are and where we came from and why we’re here today. These blog posts look at Magenta Security, the SME from Hounslow, founded in 1995 and operating at the forefront of the security industry. Magenta Security provides high quality, bespoke security services to clients within the retail, […]

In our last blog post, we looked at a few of the reasons why we were nominated for the prestigious ‘Guarding Company of the Year 2013’ award at the Security Excellence Awards. In this entry, we’ll revisit the topic and discuss even more reasons why Magenta has become so highly thought of in the security industry. Let’s start by summing up our last article – we invest in training and our employees, we are committed to investing in the ‘Investors […]

We at Magenta were honoured to be nominated for Guarding Company of the Year at the 2013 Security Excellent Awards, but what makes a good nominee? The judges look at everything from business performance and growth to commitment to training, from staff loyalty to the contracts we work so hard to honour, and do we exhibit a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility? They also have to consider the big question – ‘What really sets Magenta apart from other firms?’ […]

One of the things that sets Magenta apart is how we treat our customers. We know every customer is different and that requirements will vary immensely from service to service. We also realise that Magenta isn’t always able to provide the required service internally. However, we are committed to our clients and our methodology, should the need arise, is to provide tailored packages and additional services through partnering with extensively vetted external firms. This process is managed by Magenta in order […]

In our last blog, we underlined the importance to our consumer and society at large of CSR. We went on to discuss a few ways in which Magenta Security is leading the industry, particularly in green technologies. This blog post is very much in the same vein and highlights some more of our green credentials as well as some of our community and global CSR projects. Let’s start with some more of our green policies. A longer term aim at […]

In this modern age of social media where word of mouth is both powerful and instantaneous, companies are continually striving to project a positive brand image through CSR initiatives. For some companies, it could be argued that this is merely placation, a reaction to what they think people want. For others, it’s part of the very fabric of their business and integral to their operation. Magenta is just such a business.

As a leader in the security industry, Magenta Security Services welcomed the announcement that from 6 April 2015, all regulated security businesses will need to hold an SIA business licence. We have always employed high quality, motivated and most importantly, well trained individuals and this announcement ensures a baseline standard across the industry. We have been saying this regulation has needed to be put in place for a long time now, not just for the benefit of professionals  and the […]

It’s not the first time the firm has achieved success in the awards. […]

We recently carried out a survey amongst our clients to ask them what was important to them. The results were extremely interesting. Eighty Five percent cited CSR as an important issue. They also said they would be more likely to choose a CSR focused supplier over one who didn’t take such issues seriously. CSR has always been an integral part of our business. But the results showed that our clients really value our approach to such an important issue. Magenta […]
