Quorn Foods makes senior leadership appointments to accelerate growth
As part of these changes, Phil Thornborrow moves from his role as QuornPro director of global foodservice to become president – US effective January 2026 and Damian McLoughlin joins the business this month as global foodservice director.
Thornborrow has played a pivotal role in building Quorn’s foodservice business over recent years, including the creation of the QuornPro brand, the shift to chef-led food solutions and the unlocking of new opportunities delivering growth across the UK and Europe in challenging markets.
Commenting on his appointment, Thornborrow said: “The U.S. represents a significant growth opportunity for Quorn, particularly across foodservice. I’m excited to take on this role at a pivotal moment for the business and to build on the strong foundations already in place.
“By combining great-tasting food, operational discipline and close collaboration with our customers, we have a real opportunity to drive the business forward and deliver on our mission to make our nutritious sustainable protein available to all.”
McLoughlin joins QuornPro with more than 30 years of commercial and leadership experience across FMCG, Foodservice, E-commerce and B2B Ingredients.
Speaking about his appointment, McLoughlin added: “QuornPro is built on strong foundations, with powerful product, nutrition and sustainability stories alongside meaningful early success across key channels. We can now take this to the next level. I believe foodservice can become a true growth engine for Quorn by leveraging our partnerships with some of the world’s leading operators and distributors.”
