David
A letter from the Founder
Having spent close to a decade at sea on superyachts as an electronics engineer, it became my vision and goal to create a new service where shipyards, owners and their representatives could receive the highest level of technical advice without committing to an audio visual, IT and communication system years before the project was delivered.
Now in our 18th year as Bond Technology Management, I feel very privileged to continue to be involved with the industry. Technology is in every part of our lives and Bond TM has grown significantly in size and scope, as have the projects on which we work.
We have a talented group of over 30 engineers, including former crew members, which helps us immensely when it comes to designing and recommending systems that are both functional and manageable. Over 125 years of technical yachting expertise assists us in every aspect of our work, from choosing the right systems for your needs before construction starts through to upgrades during refit periods.
Our team appreciates the importance of looking after our clients to maintain long and trusting relationships. We currently provide operational support for dozens of superyachts, working with ETOs or providing support to engineers in lieu of a specialist on board.
Why partner with Bond?
Companies benefit from the Bond groups commercial leverage, marketing, finance and industry knowledge. We have a platform to the yachting industry and the infrastructure to sustain it, to bring your products to the forefront of Superyachting.
If you’re a company which has a niche service or product that’s world class, please get in touch.
