I am very pleased to be able to say that after 25 years of providing this excellent service to the Maritime industry, we are now the number one provider of Satellite e-mail in the world. An achievement that we are rightly very proud of.

Marinet Systems was originally set up by Cunard, they were the pioneers in Satellite e-mail in the days of just Inmarsat A. Using their in-house developed software with the Motorola Codex modem they were the first company to get e-mail to and from ships at sea.

The great expansion of the telecommunications industry, following the liberalisation of BTs monopoly in 1984 was a wave we caught and hung on for the ride.

A good grounding in technical IT Sales and dealing with customers. Worked out of the North West office after having served a 6 month sales training scheme.

Following qualification I worked as 3rd Officer on Fruit Ships, General Cargo Ships and Bulk Carriers, travelling around the world until, sadly I was made redundant in 1982.
