About us
People and Technology
When it comes to people and technology, we make thoughtful, long term investments to ensure that the customer is given the right advice and exceptional service by people who are experts in their field, and empowered to bring their knowledge and knowhow to the forefront.
Such is the connection we have with our customers that many individuals ‘take Silversands with them’ when they move on to new organisations.
We like to think we have a quiet confidence and a real-world view when it comes to customer requirements. For example, we won’t recommend development days if the solution will fit customer requirements straight out of the box, and will tell a customer if a solution isn’t right for them. In these cases, we can support the customer with a bespoke software development to fully satisfy any challenges.
Rather than shrouding the solution in IT complexities, knowledge sharing and giving customers their best people from the very start creates a confidence and trust creating solid relationships. These relationships often go on for many months giving our customers the peace of mind that their IT support is in the hands of a professional with a ‘can do’ attitude.
The overarching philosophy is ‘The right advice at the right time, the correct course of action in a timely fashion and unsurpassable support should problems occur.’

Meet the Team
Our internal company culture rewards collaboration, resourcefulness, foresight and diligence and our teams of highly qualified personnel work hard to uphold this tradition by listening to our customers’ needs and acting on their specific requirements to achieve the best result to any challenges.
We believe in encouraging our developers, designers, consultants, sales and support staff to grow with the company and enhance their skills. We believe in advancing their careers through training and as much exposure to expertise in our industry as we can.
At Silversands we are extremely proud to have a very large percentage of our team that have been with us for more than 5 years and some a great deal more than that. Around 50% have been here more than 10 years.
