Since Bill Quigg was 12 years old, he always wanted to be a baker and always wanted to work at
Richmond Baking, his family’s business founded in 1902. His first job was stamping dates on cookie
boxes, and after 6 years was promoted to actually mix dough. Bill strongly believes that the closer one is
to making the cookies, the more important the job is to the success of the company.
Bill’s education (Miami University BA, MBA), industry involvement (American Bakers Assoc. ~ Current
Chair, Cookie & Snack Baker’s Assoc. ~ Past President, Biscuit & Cracker Mfg. Assoc. ~ Past Chair) and
work history have been focused on his passion to bring people together to solve common issues. In
addition to stamping boxes (he got so fast, he outpaced the production line) and mixing, he has also
worked in sanitation, purchasing, sales and answers the phone and talks about the company’s Vision,
Mission & Values whenever possible. His favorite part of working at the bakery is making so many
friends and being able to work amongst his family and the bakery Family. Bill often says that has only
worked 6 days in his career, because he truly loves his work.
Bill is very fortunate to work alongside his amazing wife, Felicia (VP Family Pride), who provides counsel
and is a highly valued sounding board for many decisions. Felicia and Bill have three beautiful (both
inside and out) daughters, Cailyn, Lorelei and Brecklyn. Bill is also very proud of the fact that Richmond
Baking is a 4th generation business and hopes to continue the tradition of family leadership into the 5th
generation.
In 2017, Bill and Felicia made the strategic decision to build a 250,000 sq. ft. bakery in the rolling
bluegrass hills of Versailles, Kentucky named More Than A Bakery. Creating cookies, crackers,
cheesecake crumbs and smiles is the mission of the company, and a broad set of customers large and
small can attest to the focus on food safety, food quality and the competitive prices that are provided by
the company.
