Magenta Security Services, a pioneer in high-quality security solutions and sustainability in the industry, is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Over the past three decades, Magenta has set the benchmark for exceptional security services, environmental responsibility, and ethical business practices, solidifying its position as a pioneer in the sector.
Founded in 1995, Magenta Security was built on the principles of professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to corporate social responsibility. Thirty years on, the company has not only grown into one of the most respected security firms in the UK but has also spearheaded industry-wide change, tackling rogue traders and pushing for higher standards.
Sustainable business practices
Magenta Security has long been recognised as a trailblazer in sustainable business practices, being the first in the sector to achieve ISO 14001.
Having achieved carbon-neutral status in 2021, the company surpassed its own ambitious targets by becoming fully carbon-zero in 2022—without relying on offsetting. Its industry-pioneer sustainability initiatives include:
- Transitioning its entire vehicle fleet to electric, powered by on-site solar charging stations.
- Reducing energy consumption by 75% through investments in energy-efficient lighting and infrastructure.
- Going fully paperless, saving over 150 trees annually through digital systems.
- Joining the Carbon Database Initiative (CaDI) to drive transparency in carbon reporting.
Multiple sustainability accolades
Magenta sponsors 35 children worldwide, providing education and welfare for twelve years
These efforts have earned Magenta multiple sustainability accolades, including the prestigious Security or Fire Sustainability Champion award at the Security Excellence Awards for two consecutive years.
Beyond security, Magenta actively gives back to the community. The company has proudly supported the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, donating all profits from its contract to support patient care. Additionally, Magenta sponsors 35 children worldwide, providing education and welfare for twelve years (from the age of four to sixteen) to those in need.
Ethical business practices
A vocal advocate for ethical business practices, Magenta has played a crucial role in challenging rogue traders and elevating professional standards in the security industry. Through leadership roles in industry forums and collaborations with regulatory bodies, Managing Director Abbey Petkar has been at the forefront of efforts to drive change.
Reflecting on this milestone, Abbey Petkar, Managing Director of Magenta Security, stated: "For 30 years, Magenta has stood for quality, integrity, and sustainability. We have not only provided outstanding security services but have also led the way in environmental responsibility and ethical business practices. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, setting new standards, and making a lasting impact—both in our industry and beyond.”
