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.
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 […]
On average, the security industry has a high level of staff turnover and attrition, and suffers from at least 30% employee turnover. In the last 10 years, Magenta has had a turnover of 9.7% – a figure well below the national average. In fact, during the last 12 months, Magenta has seen zero changes to our security staff. We can attribute such a high retention level to the training, motivation and benefits we give employees. Some members of staff have […]
The most effective way to be able to build long term relationships with clients is to become a valued partner. If it was not for the close working relationship Magenta has with its customers and its suppliers, it would not be able to act efficiently when requests are made. Our security packages are tailor made to meet each client’s requirements. There are times when clients need additional services and this is where building relationships with clients and external partners is […]
Claiming to take care of the environment is an easy claim to make but is much harder to substantiate. Many companies say they are green but can they live up to their claims? Since 2001, when Magenta Security Services was the first manned security company to achieve ISO 14001:2004, we have continually improved our environmental practices and we are now considered the leader in the industry’s drive to be environmentally friendly. As a company, we’ve taken pioneering steps to improve our current and […]
Over the years many organisations have been burnt by rogue security operators. It was a particular problem during the recession as many businesses cut back on their security spend. As a result, the security industry was plagued with unaccredited suppliers who under sold services and delivered sub-standard protection. At Magenta we’ve worked hard to improve the reputation of the security industry, and do whatever we can to go beyond what is expected to serve the sector we work in. We […]
In the last 12 months, leading security provider Magenta Security has raised thousands of pounds for charity.

We achieve quality by offering tailor-made security packages which meet client’s individual requirements and this is backed up by a […]
As a security company our job involves dealing with society. We ensure the safety and security of individuals, businesses, property and events.

We rely on the members of the communities for information and support, and liaising with them is vital to our success. One of the best ways to win the […]
As part of our recent survey across clients, retailers, public authorities and commercial facilities managers 85% of respondents cited Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as an important issue.

Magenta was the first manned guarding company to be ISO 14001 certified around ten years ago and since then has […]
