About Us
Our Story
From Specialist Roots to Global Impact
Founded over 25 years ago, SydSen began as a specialist consultancy serving South Africa’s automotive sector. Over time, the company expanded its expertise and footprint, evolving into a multidisciplinary group with operations across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia.
What started as a focused advisory firm has grown into a global performance partner—offering recruitment, training, lead management, psychometric assessment, and business consulting. Throughout this evolution, SydSen has remained committed to measurable outcomes, innovation-led delivery, and helping clients navigate complex transformation with clarity and capability.
