March 2nd, 2016: Platinum Geomatics First Day!

The founders of Platinum Geomatics celebrated their first official day together by holding a meeting in their sales department which also doubles as the Simmons family kitchen table.  In an interview at the conclusion of Day One, Byron Freeman, Founding Partner and Georgia Registered Land Surveyor lamented the fact that PG leadership missed a golden opportunity to have their first, official day of business on Monday of the same week, February 29^th (Leap Day).  Mr. Freeman added “I’m not sure why we couldn’t come to a consensus on this…  I’m sure it has something to do with insurance or tax implications…  I already feel oppressed.”

Luckily, the remainder of the week went as planned and the launching of the next great surveying and mapping firm progressed, unimpeded.
