Why We Started
Silverline
We’re Waqar and Damian, the founders of Silverline Consulting.
Our journey started nearly two decades ago. We are two friends united by a passion for people and performance. Together, we’ve built careers in Administration, HR, Leadership, Sales, and Customer Support, launching and managing teams in EMEA, the UK, the USA, and Australia.
What truly connected us was our belief that businesses thrive when people can do their best work. That’s why we started Silverline Consulting. We wanted to help companies grow smarter by linking them with top talent from South Africa.
It Started With a
Personal Problem
Rising costs and limited opportunities We saw businesses struggle to remain competitive.
They faced rising overhead costs, higher wages, and increasing operational pressure. Teams felt stretched, leaders experienced burnout, and growth seemed out of reach. We had witnessed this before.
Great businesses were held back not by a lack of talent but by the inability to access affordable talent. We knew something had to change.
