Tim Cummins to take up role of Co-Chairperson on board of major logistics company
Primeline Group has announced the appointment of Pamela Quinn as its incoming CEO, as Tim Cummins takes up a new board position at Ireland’s largest independent provider of logistics and route to market solutions.
After leading Primeline Group through over 25 years of outstanding growth and expansion, Tim Cummins is stepping down as CEO and will continue to play a very active role in the business as Co-Chairperson of the board driving the Ireland & UK strategic growth & direction, alongside Primeline’s founder Danny Geoghegan.
Pamela Quinn most recently held the role of UK & Ireland Managing Director at global logistics leader Kuenhe + Nagel, and served in a variety of positions within the company over more than two decades. She is a highly experienced and accomplished logistics executive with a track record of building strong teams, elevating customer and people experience and leading with clear vision, communication and purpose.
Pamela Quinn has also built a strong public profile within the business community and has been named Ireland’s Logistics Transport Leader, Ireland’s Most Trusted Leader, IMAGE Business Woman of the Year and among the Top 25 of Ireland’s Most Powerful Women.
As she prepares to take up the role of CEO on March 2nd 2026, Pamela Quinn says she’s looking forward to her next step: “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. I have learned and led for many happy years at Kuehne + Nagel and the time is right to take on a new challenge.”
CEO Tim Cummins says Pamela Quinn’s arrival will begin another exciting phase: “Primeline Group now serves more than 10,000 retailers and is making 30,000 deliveries every week throughout Ireland & the UK. In recent years, I have led a series of acquisitions that further cemented Primeline Group’s position as an industry leader. 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. She is an outstanding people and business leader and I look forward to supporting her in her vision for this company.”
Primeline Group founder Danny Geoghegan says it’s a busy time for the company: “Tim has provided visionary leadership and ambition every day since he joined us in 2000. I’m very happy that he will be my co-chairperson and continue to provide his expertise and insights as this company grows into the future.
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.”
