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 […]

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 […]
