I have worked in a close capacity with Pippa for several years now and would have no hesitation in recommending her on any engineering based or sat comms query. Her company are always on time, reliable and capable of dealing with projects of a sanitation or comms nature - which is why we also have no problem recommending her as a preferred supplier on yachtneeds app and website.

Phil Nicholas is a professional through and through. His ability to stand back and look at the bigger picture is a trait that most people lack and regrettably is just not seen very often. I have worked with Phil on the drawing board and in the field and he can easily zoom in from that bigger picture and step completely into it with a literal hands on approach. Another importantly thing about him that I have noticed is that he has an amazing ability to retain information. This may seem a bit silly but in my own experience I can say that just those two abilities are already a step ahead of everyone else that I have met. I have worked with Phil in South Africa, UK, USA, and I have also been sent out on my own on his behalf to countless other places. Ultimately I can say yes the job always gets done and he does have a very good sense of customer service. Throughout these years that I have been working with him I have gotten to know the professional and personal side of Phil and I can truly recommend his work to anyone in the industry.

Apr 2004 - Present
Yachtprojects International and Procom365 are natural progressions to a life long, sea going orientated career, allowing me a stable home and work environment. The greatest benefit was, and still is, that of allowing me to travel, work and achieve goals that most of us only dream of. The demands of high end clients feed my adventurous spirit and fuel my desire to “get the job done” I have been able to involve my wife in the business, (don't be fooled by my words, she really owns and runs it !!, Just ask her !) and take her with me when we work around the globe. 2004-2010 were years we set the foundations, Gaining great clients and building long term commitments with them. Being very hands on, limited our growth. Being a firm believer in walking before running this suited the plan. We developed relationships and kept mainly to vessel Project Management and parts supply to the industry. 2008-2010 we managed major works in Singapore, Darwin, Malta, France, Spain, UK and both coasts of the USA. 2010 saw new markets open up: Maritime cyber security, specialist parts supply a joint venture with a UK shipyard opened up access in the UK, All still part of our operations today 2011 3 x multi million dollar projects and more of a turn towards communication solutions... 2021 and moving forward into the next decade we offer: Supply of : 1. Intellian VSAT and TVRO hardware ( others by request) 2. All VSAT airtime 3. Inmarsat Hardware, FX platform antennas. FBB & GMDSS service including Airtime 365/24/7 monitoring and our remote ETO service through our bespoke Firewall SeaWall Ships IT and network Design,supply & Management ncluding integration of Wifi, VOIP, CCTV, Email Headhunter waste system supply, service, parts and installations FCI Water Makers global sales and support UltraGuard ultrasonic antifouling systems for hull and cooling pipework Consultancy for builds, conversions and refits and through partners implementation of services Show less

Oceans and seas traveled, ships broken and repaired, tall tales told under swinging lamps in bars and brothels all over the world. Wouldn't have missed it for anything.
