True, and in the past, I have heard of certain parties asking questions concerning the capital worth of Planet but I've heard nothing for a long time concerning those guys which is curious to say the least.
Out of all the companies in our industry, Planet are probably the most successful in terms of maintaining turnover and resisting contraction forces with all the other parts of the industry being unable to resist.
Planet's secret was to maintain their output at a set level and therefore keeping the demand consistent; and so when the recession hit, they were never affected as other were because they had never scaled up like other parties such as Smart Parts.
SP were saddled with a 12 million dollar loan and a recessive marketplace whereas Planet still had pretty much the same demand thereby maintaining capital flow and workforce numbers. and with no big ass loan to pay back.
Mind you, the success of Planet is based upon a multitude of qualities not least or which is the nature of the workforce, it's unique.
It might sound like a cliché but Planet's workforce really is like one big family and this is because the two guys who own it, Ledzy and Julian are regarded by their employees as friends, and genuinely so.
Any interested party in terms of buying Planet would effectively behead that company leaving it bereft of that special 'something' they have always had.
This would no doubt reduce the company's worth as key people would leave over time under these circumstances.
I realise Ledz and Jules would be probably contracted in to stay on for a few years but the whole Planet culture would be undermined and the rot would set in ..... Ledz and Julian are a special couple of gems in this industry, if and when they ever leave us, it truly would be an enormous loss for this country and paintball in general.
