Joe Hollingsworth, Jr., CEO of Hollingsworth Companies located in East Tennessee, has been chosen as one of the nation's top site consultants by Southern Business & Development magazine.
Hollingsworth's entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to business growth in the South have fostered exceptional growth, and resulted in a dramatic impact within the economic development industry as well as his home state of Tennessee.
In researching for the award, SB&D extensively surveyed economic developers located in the South to identify site consultants who provide exemplary services to companies involved in a location search. The resulting list was published in SB&D's latest issue, released earlier this month. SB&D is the leading publication promoting corporate investment and job creation in the American South, the world's fourth largest economy.
When asked what differentiates his company, Hollingsworth responded: "Our company is built for speed and flexibility. So when our clients come to us with a seemingly impossible time frame, we say, ‘yes we can.' I'm naturally proud of closing on every deal we have ever made an offer on, completing every scope of work or contract in spite of any loss we may have incurred, providing facilities that literally have produced thousands of jobs, but probably most of all, the personal relationships developed that continue to provide win-win opportunities for our clients."
Hollingsworth's economic development focus strives to maximize the customer's financial resources. "Particularly in times of economic contraction, it is key for businesses to drive down their fixed costs and be able to respond to increased market opportunities quickly," he explained. "We searched the southeastern US and came up with the four best locations to do business. There we provide highly flexible industrial buildings at the lowest fixed cost basis possible. We work hard to learn what makes our clients profitable, and then tailor fit a lease agreement to help maximize their growth opportunity."
When asked to explain his success Hollingsworth replied, "It's my job to search out and execute the win-win-win scenario, and I truly enjoy helping a business dream to materialize."
