Richmond business columnist packs it in after 15 years

Richmond Times-Dispatch deputy business editor Gregory Gilligan wrote his last “Biz Buzz” column in Monday’s paper, and he reflects about 15 years of column writing.

Staff writer Louis Llovio is taking over the column.

Gilligan writes, “Sniffing out the news was tough at times, but it was fun.

“In the past 15 years, I have received countless phone calls, letters and e-mails from readers thanking me for telling them about a new development, a new shop or a nugget of news about a local company or chain.

“Because my photo has appeared here every week, readers have stopped me in the grocery store, at the mall, in church and even in New York City to tell me how much they enjoy reading the column or to pick my brain.

“Store owners and company executives also have said how my column helped inform readers about their business.”
