Celebrating many years of service

our story

Since 2008, Silverback has delivered a premier event crew hire service that is distinct, reliable and professional. We are proud that for well over a decade our service has been consistent; the Silverback brand is one that is held in high regard within the events industry. Our approach is what separates Silverback from other crewing companies; each crew booking is met by someone who will personally deal with your request from start to finish. No matter where your event is, there are professionals who will be happy to discuss all aspects of your event. Relationships are everything.

I am so pleased to have had your guys on site today. They were very professional, and no job was too big or too small. They only stopped occasionally when I asked them to, as I felt they must need a break/drink but if I didn’t ask, I think they would have just carried on…… They were fantastic and couldn’t have been more helpful.”
