About us

The people and the company behind the service.

Firearmdesk is run from George, in the Western Cape, by a small team with a named person responsible for each part of the service. This page says who they are and how the work is governed.

Our team

Named people, clear responsibilities.

Wayne de Jager, executive management

Leads the business: the service, the custody partner network, finance and compliance. Wayne is also the Information Officer under the Protection of Personal Information Act, reachable through the contact page.

Leandri Starbuck, admin coordinator

Runs matters day to day: new referrals, document requests, communication with executors and firms, and coordination with custody partners.

Philip de Jager, attorney, advisory council

Advises the business on estate administration and legal matters. The advisory role is to Firearmdesk itself; Philip does not act for firms, executors or heirs through the service.

Administration staff

General administration staff support the admin coordinator with referrals, documents and follow-up.

How the work is governed

Rules and evidence, not personalities.

  • Legal position as configurationRegulated steps proceed only under a legal rule reviewed by counsel and activated by two people.
  • Dual controlRelease from custody, serial-number corrections, legal-rule changes and payee changes need two people.
  • An append-only recordEvery material action is recorded; nothing is deleted.
  • Licensed partners for custodyFirearms are held by licensed dealers under their own licences; Firearmdesk never takes possession of a firearm itself.

Security and chain of custody

The legal basis we work under

Ready when a firearm appears on the inventory.

A referral needs only the details you already have. We take it from there.
