Description

Speaker: Quintin Frey, President, Turkey Hill Dairy


Quintin joined Turkey Hill Dairy and the family business full-time in 1980. In 1985, the company was sold to the Kroger Company. Leading up to his appointment as President of the company in 1991, Quintin served in roles of increasing responsibility, particularly in Administration, Sales, and Marketing. During his 20 years as President, the company has tripled in size and expanded its marketing area throughout the Northeast states and beyond. Key to this growth was the recognition of the brand’s value and the benefits of branding. Quintin’s passion for out-of-the box thinking and the creative process are skills that match well with new product development and developing brand affinity required for the consumer products business in which Turkey Hill is engaged.

Quintin guided the company through the transition from small family company to a large operating business within a public company environment. Continuing family traditions within $90 billion Kroger Company parent has been a challenge, but Turkey Hill has maintained its unique culture of modeling respect and concern for each person. This culture helped to build a strong team at Turkey Hill, and encouraged the company to reach out in support of non-profit and the community.
