The Samarkand Story.

Established in 2009, Samarkand is a privately owned, veteran run company. Our ethos, blended with industry subject matter experts and academia delivers potent solutions.

Samarkand is derived from the poem ‘The Golden Journey To Samarkand” by James Elroy Flecker. The poem describes the restless, questioning nature of humankind and our need to find answers ‘We shall always go a little further’.

Our core values of integrity, respect, loyalty and professionalism are the foundation of our robust and dependable company.

We are a company with great people from diverse backgrounds, bringing a variety of skill sets, both behavioural and technical. Our teams have depth and breadth of knowledge matched with practical and real world experience.

Our Commitment

The Pillars of the Samarkand Way

The Intelligent Client

We empower our clients and provide them with the information required to go to market with detailed user requirements and technical specifications. So you can purchase what is required and not what the seller has available. We then assure the delivery, testing and implementation of systems and processes into your business.

Exacting Standards

We are in an industry that operates to the highest standards of safety, engineering and security. We recognise that there is no place or space for anything but excellence. As a company we are constantly striving for excellence in everything we do. We are accredited to International standards and are audited by independent third party bodies to ensure that we are always above the quality line.

Discretion

We are used to working to the highest levels of confidentiality and pride ourselves on client relationships. We will never betray your trust. Only with your confidence and trust can we deliver exceptional outcomes for your business.

FOUNDED ON DISCIPLINE

Built on a Legacy
of Service.

Leadership, command and decision making abilities at all levels are prized by organisations in our former lives. These traits are essential in high intensity environments where every act comes with consequences. Transferred into the commercial sector, and communicated in the correct manner they are effect multipliers. This ensures we deliver for our clients time and time again.
