No, they are the dispatcher, employed by the handling agent.
We do not have a dispatch centre.
My Company and most UK airlines do not employ dispatchers and if they did they would certainly not do what the US dispatchers do.
Please get into your very sheltered brain that the system in the UK and mostof the rest of the world is completely different to the US.
Evidently your experince is limited to your very sheltered world which leads to your ignorance and arrogance.
Have you ever flown outside of the Americas?
If your company flies scheduled service, then they do have a dispatch center. They may not perform all duties as related to such... ergo the reason for joint dispatch authority. All of the relevant data is complied prior to each sector either by the "Dispatcher", PIC or any combination thereof.
Check your operations manuals junior. By the way you need to watch your manners, or you'll be sent to bed with out dinner.
