About
Background and Approach
Luke Slingsby is the founder of DryHard Industrial Dehumidification, a young and growing business established in September 2025 and based in Cape Town, Western Cape. He matriculated from SACS High School in 2022 and is currently in his final year of a BCom in Entrepreneurship at Varsity College Cape Town.
From an early stage, Luke has always been drawn to the idea of building and running his own business, with a strong interest in practical, hands-on industries. The opportunity to start DryHard came when he was offered the chance to purchase a small number of industrial dehumidifiers. Recognising the demand for efficient moisture control, particularly in water damage and restoration environments, he took the leap and began building the business from the ground up.
Since then, DryHard has focused on providing reliable dehumidification solutions, including moisture control, water extraction support, and accurate moisture readings. As a young company, the goal has been simple: grow steadily, deliver quality service, and build strong relationships with clients across the Western Cape.
Luke continues to expand DryHard by actively seeking new opportunities, connecting with potential customers, and developing the business into a trusted name in industrial dehumidification.
