Entrepreneurial Odyssey featuring Joe Hollingsworth.
Local entrepreneur Joe Hollingsworth has accomplished a lot in his varied and impressive career, but his adventuristic nature expands beyond taking risks with start-ups, stocks and investments. Between hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro, racing Formula 1™ cars and deep sea fishing off the Great Barrier Reef, it’s amazing he even has time for his next big venture —one that’s truly out of this world.
Tennessean Voted Top Site Consultant by Southern Business & Development Magazine
Joe Hollingsworth, Jr., CEO of Hollingsworth Companies, 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.
Hollingsworth has 41 years of successful entrepreneurial experience, which includes building single-family homes, design/build and management of multi-family homes, the growth of a thriving convenience store chain and sports club chain, as well as the revitalization of a shopping center. In 2005, his company concentrated its energies on expanding the industrial real estate side of its business. Hollingsworth Capital Partners was formed with Joe’s son, Trey, as managing partner and majority owner. The company now has business park developments in Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia and North Carolina. Hollingsworth also authored The Southern Advantage, a literary work highlighting the significant progress in the South that has laid the cornerstone for its tremendous economic destiny.
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.
