FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Executive Leadership Solutions (ELS) has announced the formation of a strategic alliance with nationally known biodiesel consulting group, Lee Enterprises of Little Rock, Ark.
"Lee Enterprises is the world's largest biodiesel consulting firm. Naturally, we felt it would be beneficial to our clients to form this strategic alliance. We expanded our search firm's practice to include alternative energy in 2005 and this has become a huge growth sector for us. Many of our clients needed immediate talent and expertise with the biodiesel sector of their business," [image-nocss] said Brian Wright, managing partner of ELS.
"Wayne Lee [pictured] is the principal consultant at Lee Enterprises; however, there are many consultants, each with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences all focused on biodiesel. Now, when our clients approach us looking for this type talent, we will have a resource to recommend until such time as we can identify and place candidates for our biodiesel searches. It is rare that we are willing to recommend a consulting firm; however, our references on Lee have been excellent and they have shown themselves to be true professionals and incredibly knowledgeable in the biodiesel niche," added Wright.
Lee Enterprises is a biodiesel consulting firm specializing in project oversight and management, feasibility studies, grants, business plans and assistance with planning, market analysis, site evaluation, feedstock selection and procurement, process technology, evaluation, offtake distribution, RINs, financing, capital budgeting, cold soak, filtration, personnel and contract negotiations (for feedstock, off-take, transportation, construction, site purchase/lease and plant management). The group also owns National Business Brokerage Inc., a full-service business brokerage firm specializing in the buying and selling of biodiesel plants.
