PLANET MARGATE

The idea behind Planet Margate was born late in 1999 when the founders, Paul Bedford and Allan Dummer, were living and working on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast. At the time they met, they were both involved in the tourism and restaurant industry and over the next couple of months chatted about how they could put their shared interest in computers and the rapidly developing internet to good use in the tourism industry... With the move to Gauteng early in 2003 and access to high-speed internet, thanks to a shared office in one of the Regus buildings, growth continued. The services we offered also expanded, with product photography and content creation coming into the mix... Bespoke developments and e-commerce were next to be added with social media activities also becoming part of the bouquet of services we offer.
