Today we celebrated Bill Beasley and Kevin Penrod’s 10 years of employment at Fortville Feeders.

Bill is our Feeder department Manager (just a title, as he does much, much more!)

After working in the food industry all through high school (Long John Silver’s), Bill answered an ad for a welding position at Automatron in Indianapolis. There he became an apprentice bowl tooler and he never looked back.

With Indianapolis being the “feeder capitol of the world”, Bill worked at many of the local feeder shops. His first stint with Fortville was in 1986 when our shop was located on Mill Street. Fast forward 30 years, and after 4 other tours of duty with Fortville, Bill has finally made it to his 10-year celebration!

Bill lives in Indianapolis with his wife of 18 years, Julie.

They have one son, Owlfie (their Yorkie Terrier)

In his down time, Bill enjoys hunting and fishing.

Thanks for all your hard work a dedication Bill, it’s truly appreciated.

Kevin lives on the west side of Indianapolis with his wife of 30 years. They have three adult children and 3 grandchildren.
