“We have come a long way, yet we have been able to maintain our core philosophy of “people first, processes second”. This truly is the “Best Place to Work”. –Bob Duenkel (joined W&F June 1999)
“We were always pushing to be #1; that has never changed. We relied on each other and had a real family atmosphere. As we grew, I feared we might lose that culture. I’m happy that we have been able to maintain those characteristics even though the company has grown immensely over the years.” -Steve Lewis (March 2000)
“I remember always feeling like a part of the family. Knowing that I could go to Bob or Gary’s office and talk to them about anything (which we did) was great. I loved coming to work and still do.” -Cindy Parham (January 1994)
“Change is good sometimes. Nothing ever stays the same. When others get all bent out of shape about change, I can truly say I have seen it over the years, and this too will pass. Ten years from now you will look back at the changes as well. There will be more in the future of Williams & Fudge.” -Sherry Ward (February 1993)
“I remember having the opportunity not only to grow with the company but to even shape the company in some ways. I have enjoyed watching the great company grow and become the major player in higher education collections that it is today. I think that we have also managed to keep some of that family-like atmosphere. That’s what makes us special.” -Bill Brooks (June 1998)
“What was exciting in 1993 remains exciting today! The industry has changed drastically, and we have led many of those changes during the 25 year period that Williams & Fudge has existed. What has not changed are our core values, and those will continue to preserve us as a premier company when we celebrate 50 years in 2036.” –Bob Perrin (January 1993)
“I look back and remember the hours we spent together driving to conferences all piled in a van - Gary, Bob, Esther, and I. I have many wonderful memories and many grey hairs, but I have been blessed.” – BJ Lee (June 1992)
“Looking at what we had in technology 10 years ago and where we are now just boggles my mind. Thinking about where we'll be ten years from now really blows me away!” –KC Froelich (May 2001)
"I am very blessed and thankful for my job and friends at Williams & Fudge. We have come a long way from the old CBI machine and the 411 directory. Thanks for everything!!!" -Teri Ashworth (September 1995)
“From when we were young to when we're not. From when we were thin to when we're not. From when we had energy and time... All of us who have been here for a lengthy amount of time have changed and grown in so many ways. I would like to read the book that Gary could publish. I often reflect on the beginning of W&F with good memories and I do the same for the W&F of 25 years later. Thank you to Gary and Bob who made all this possible.” -Peggy Siebers Cornell (1988 originally)
"I was 5 years old when Dad started the company, so I feel like the company and I have grown up together. I have learned so much, but most importantly how to give back to our community that has given so much to me. I enjoy helping others and encouraging others to do the same." -Alice Williams Davis (May 2006 full-time)
"It is exciting to be a part of our family business. We will continue to work at doing the best we can everyday, treating every client as if we are about to lose them, and upholding other principles that Gary, Peggy, Bob, and others have instilled in Williams & Fudge along the way. My hope is that one day my children can experience all that comes with working with and being a part of a family business, and continue to build upon what was started in July of 1986!" -David Williams (August 2000 full-time)
