Lee Enterprises Adds Biodiesel Executive Search Recruiter

Dec. 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Lee Enterprises of Little Rock, Arkansas, a nationally recognized biodiesel consulting firm is pleased to announce the addition of Tess Castillo of Conway, Arkansas to its consulting team.  “I am really pleased to have Tess on board for several reasons,” said Wayne Lee, owner of Lee Enterprises.  “Not only does she bring a wealth of knowledge from the perspective of our business brokerage and real estate section in the buying and selling of biodiesel plants, she fills a much needed recruiting niche in being able to match biodiesel plant managers with plants that are seeking experienced personnel.  It is an added benefit that she speaks fluent Spanish”.  
 
Lee Enterprises was recently selected by APInnovations to market their line of biodiesel products and services. AP Innovations of Stuttgart, Arkansas, is a nationally recognized biodiesel design and engineering company.  "I am really excited about our affiliation with AP Innovations," said Lee.  “And, with clients on six continents, having Tess is really a big benefit to us.”   Castillo notes that she has seen the industry from the perspective of the seller and buyer of a plant, which gives her a unique perspective in locating experienced personnel for management positions. “It’s really great to be working with a group that has built so many plants that I can tour with prospective clients, and to have satisfied customers for these clients to talk to,” said Castillo.  

Both Lee and Castillo indicate a recent upswing in the biodiesel business.  “The last couple of years have been difficult,” said Lee, “but it does appear that the industry is headed up in a big way now”.  “Oil is a limited commodity and its running out,” says Castillo.  “Alternative fuels are here to stay”.
