Primeline Group has appointed Pamela Quinn as its new chief executive, with her tenure starting on 2 March 2026. Quinn succeeds Tim Cummins, who steps down after 25 years and will remain as co-chair of the board to support growth in the UK and Ireland.

Quinn joins Primeline from Kuehne + Nagel, where she served as UK & Ireland managing director and held various leadership roles over two decades. She has built a strong public profile and has earned multiple recognitions.

“I have admired the growth and achievements of Primeline Group for many years and am thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of a true Irish success story,” Quinn said according to a Bussiness Plus report. “I have learned and led for many happy years at Kuehne + Nagel and the time is right to take on a new challenge.”

Outgoing CEO Tim Cummins added: “Primeline Group now serves more than 10,000 retailers and is making 30,000 deliveries every week throughout Ireland & the UK. More than 25 years since I was appointed, now is the ideal time for someone to bring a fresh perspective to this fantastic role and I’m delighted that Pamela Quinn is that person.”

Company founder Danny Geoghegan praised both Cummins and Quinn, noting: “Our sector is recognised as underpinning Ireland’s economy and is vital to the success of Irish businesses. At what is in many ways a challenging time in the global economy, having someone of Pamela Quinn’s professional calibre on board means Primeline Group will be ideally positioned to lead and identify opportunities to secure continuing growth and expansion.”
