The 24 YachtSuppliers Network
The New Route To get Reliable Information
Intro:
The 24 Network has been developed by Paul Thompson, combining over 30 years of digital experience with direct involvement in the luxury yacht industry.
The aim is simple — to create a more efficient, controlled and intelligent way for the industry to connect.
Our Background
Paul Thompson began working in digital development in the early 1990s, at a time when the internet was still in its infancy. As part of one of the UK’s first dedicated web design businesses, he has spent over three decades building online platforms, marketing systems and digital strategies across multiple industries.
This long-term experience has provided a clear understanding of how online platforms evolve — and where they fail.
Yachting Industry Experience
Alongside digital development, Paul has been actively involved in the luxury yacht sector for over 10 years, working across yacht sales, charter and industry marketing.
This includes direct experience with brokers, charter clients, suppliers and industry professionals, providing a practical understanding of how the market operates day to day.
Why the 24 Network Was Created
Through this combined experience, one issue became clear:
The industry relies too heavily on searching, fragmented communication and repeated data sharing across multiple platforms.
The 24 Network was created to address this — not by building another directory, but by creating a structured system that improves how information is delivered and received.
The Business Today
Today, the 24 Network operates as a connected ecosystem of platforms, each supporting a specific part of the industry.

Our Approach
The focus is not on building large, complex platforms.
It is on building systems that work — clearly, efficiently and reliably.
Every part of the network is designed to reduce friction, improve relevance and provide real value to the people using it.
Looking Forward
The 24 Network continues to evolve, with new features, platforms and partnerships being developed as the system grows.
The long-term goal is to create a recognised, trusted infrastructure within the industry — one that improves how businesses connect and how clients access the information they need.
