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 […]

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 been in the security business long enough to understand that no two assignments are the same, and we pride ourselves on building relationships with clients so we can fully understand their security needs. This approach allows us offer clients a tailor-made package which clearly meets their security requirements, rather than a one size fits all […]

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 […]

A local London council recently agreed to pay its security staff the London living wage. The move by Haringey Council means that all security staff who are guarding council buildings will be paid at least £8.55 an hour. But is this enough to retain staff who provide a vital frontline service? Security is an important industry and it is crucial to have good pay schemes in place in order to attract the best staff. Security should not be viewed as […]
