FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Brian Wright, managing partner of Executive Leadership Solutions, has announced that ELS has purchased a 25% stake in the defunct executive search firm National Executive Personnel & Marketing Group LLC for $3,500.
National Executive Personnel recently dissolved, and the former leadership and executive recruiters have left to pursue other interest. Beth Ann Scharrer, trustee for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, offered for sale a 25% interest of the assets of NEP.
ELS was the high bidder and the purchase closed on October 21.
It purchased the interest in NEP based upon NEP's long-recognized name in the area of convenience store recruitment and the opportunity to add value to its operations, "which at this point are virtually nonexistent," said ELS.
With the resources, connections and expertise of ELS Solutions now involved, Wright said that he is hopeful that this company can in some way continue to benefit the c-store industry that once looked to NEP for expertise in recruiting and placement.
"It would be sad if this long-term business in the area of c-store recruitment were to fade away into the dark night without at least some attempt to resurrect the strengths of that business. NEP has suffered from the withdraw or lack of participation of its principals, recruiting staff and leadership," added Wright.
Fort Myers, Fla.-based ELS is a leading executive search firm that specializes in executive recruitment for the convenience store, petroleum and travel center industries. ELS has served the industry since 2003. It has recruited in the c-store, downstream petroleum and travel center industries.
