“Our leadership team first met Scott in May of 2021 when we were seeking a consultant to help us identify a new apple processing location in the Pacific Northwest. We interviewed a number of consultants and ultimately selected Scott due to his industry knowledge and experience, dedication to integrating with our team to utilize his search process, and the level of resourcefulness he brought as a sole proprietor. We ultimately chose an existing facility he identified in a rural Washington community, after an extensive multi-state search.
Here are some of the traits our team appreciated most after working with Scott;
- He was always prepared, not only for in-person visits, tours, and meetings, but also for less complicated 10-minute phone calls. We never felt our time was wasted in working with him.
- He showed a real interest in understanding not only our technical requirements, but also our culture, key employee needs, and relationship with our ownership group. He made a real effort to translate the perceived benefits and challenges of any candidate location for our particular needs.
- He was not afraid to give us bad news, whether we wanted to hear it or not.
- He had an unusually wide variety of experience in all aspects of site selection. This included real estate matters, finance, Labor concerns, site development, due diligence, managing acquisition risk, and incentive programs, and was very well-versed in how to utilize the services of various Economic Development organizations.
I would urge anyone looking for a site selector, especially those in the Food and Beverage Industry, to strongly consider working with Scott.”
