The London-based guarding company Magenta Security has won the security contract for The Royal Parks from the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport. It‚Äôs a deal that will see the guard firm provide its services to the parks until 2013….
The security firm was first awarded the contract to provide guarding solutions to the nine parks by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in 2007, and then again in 2009. The park’s managers looked at all areas of the potential suppliers’ business approach. One of the main reasons Magenta’s bid was successful was because alongside its guarding service it met the environmental criteria of the contract through its green credentials and integrated CSR (corporate social responsibility) policies.
Abbey Petkar, Magenta’s managing director, says: “Winning this business for the third time is a true demonstration of our focus on customer service and customer delivery. We’re committed to offering top quality solutions and being awarded the contract is recognition of the work we have done in maintaining standards. Our approach is customer orientated and our service has been tailor-made to meet the requirements of The Royal Park’s sites. This means we can work in partnership with the park’s management, and the Metropolitan Police, to ensure visitors get the best possible experience.”
Notes
Aside from its first class services Magenta Security reports that it was the first manned guarding company in Europe to be awarded ISO 14001: 2004 as well as being the first security company in the UK to become carbon neutral.
