What our clients say about us

Fever-Tree

Craig Maitland - Retail Operations Director

"MAG Vetting Services recently supported us in providing full vetting services for our new bar opening at Manchester Airport. They completed end-to-end service, delivering exceptional quality and speed throughout. Even the more complex cases (and there were a few were handled smoothly and with clear communication).

Lisa, Cat, and the team have been outstanding — responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. Their expertise in compliance and SME needs made the entire process seamless and stress‑free.

We're incredibly grateful for their partnership and highly recommend MAG Vetting Services for reliable, efficient, and expert vetting support. They are experts in the field."

James Sessa - Head of People & Culture

"We were very pleased to work with MAG in support of the launch of Great Northern Market at Manchester Airport. From the outset, the partnership felt like an extension of our own team. The structure they put in place around meetings, communication, and support was well thought through and gave us confidence throughout the process.

What stood out most was the genuine care shown for both the outcome and the experience of our team members. That is what made the service feel like real value for money. Any obstacles that arose were approached with a positive, problem-solving mindset, which played an important part in delivering a successful launch. Security passes were a critical part of that success, and MAG helped make that happen.

Thank you to the team. We would not hesitate to recommend the service to others."
