Site Selection Magazine-William Dorsey Service Provider Award Fluor Global Location Strategies, the Greenville, South Carolina-based site selection consulting division of Fluor Corporation, was recently named a winner of Site Selection magazine's William Dorsey Service Provider Award for superior client service in 2003. This award is one of the most prestigious awards recognized internationally in the site selection consulting industry. The award is named in memory of the late William Dorsey, who founded the Fluor Global Location Strategies practice almost 30 years ago and remained as its Managing Director until the time of his passing in 1999. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the award's existence and is also the first time Fluor Global Location Strategies has submitted an entry for its receipt. Formal announcement of the award will be made in the January 2004 issue of Site Selection magazine. The William Dorsey Service Provider Award recognizes those companies that execute superior service to their clients in the corporate site selection/real estate context. Companies participating in the awards process fill out a comprehensive questionnaire that give respondents numerous opportunities to articulate and demonstrate their understanding of and commitment to client service. All entries are judged and recipients identified by the editorial board of Site Selection magazine, the industry's preeminent professional journal.
