Take Out with Bob Weeks
 |
Bob Weeks began his publishing career in the early 1970's and served in several different capacities with Bill Communications and Freed Crown Lee Publishing before becoming Publisher of Dairy Foods and Prepared Foods magazines at Gorman Publishing. In 1991 he set out on his own, establishing Weeks Publishing Company with the successful launch of Food Product Design Magazine which subsequently became and remains today the preeminent food development and R&D focused publication/information source. Bob continued as Publisher of Food Product Design as well as Culinology magazine after being acquired by Phoenix-based Virgo Publishing LLC. in 2005. His 23 years in food publishing have established Bob as one of the foremost thought leaders in the food industry. |
It's All About Commitment
It is now coming up on the fourth anniversary of Virgo Publishing's acquisition of Food Product Design magazine. I remember very vividly sitting across the table from Virgo's President/CEO Jenny Bolton in October 2005 as we prepared to sign what seemed like several hundred pages that would seal the deal. I also distinctly remember that my belief in Jenny and Virgo's commitment to grow the Food Product Design franchise, especially in the area of online and electronic media, gave me confidence that I was doing the right thing in selling the magazine I launched in 1991 to Jenny and her company.
History has shown that my confidence was well placed as Jenny and Virgo have time after time in the past four years invested and reinvested in FPD's online and electronic media capabilities. The latest example can be seen at www.foodproductdesign.com with our just relaunched website.
