Story
The GMTS story
Founded in 2021 by Nik Thullesen, more than 15 years in marine, defence and super yacht work. Marine came first; mobile and rural followed; enterprise is the same engineering applied to yards, marinas and branches.
Mission
Consultative, not a generic queue.
High-quality service in the industries we choose. We share knowledge, give in-depth insight, and build bespoke technical solutions, personal enough that you are not another ticket.

Values
What we hold to.
Integrity
We would rather tell you the truth about coverage than win a sale that fails at sea or on a rural ridge.
Innovation
Current kit classes and airtime, not a brochure from three plan generations ago.
Excellence
Documented handover, labelled racks, and a one-page LED guide the next crew can use.
Partnership
Dealers and operators who stay on the job with us, not a one-off box drop.
