He was promoted to group strategy and corporate development director in 2009. Since 2014 he has been managing director of Greencore’s Grocery Division in the UK. He has been a member of the group’s executive board since its inception in 2012. Eoin Tonge worked for Goldman Sachs from 1994 to 2005, holding a variety of finance, treasury and capital market roles in London, Hong Kong and New York. He holds a First Class Honours degree in Engineering from University College Dublin.

Eoin Tonge will be replaced as managing director of the Grocery Division by Nigel Blakey, who is currently that division’s finance director.
