Tim Finnigan

Dr Tim Finnigan is currently Director of Research & Development for Quorn Foods – covering both the Quorn and Cauldron brands across 15 countries. Tim is a Ph.D graduate of the Food and Biosciences faculty of the University of Reading and has held innovation roles in government food research, General Foods, APV, RHM, Zeneca and Premier Foods. Tim has been instrumental in the product and technology innovation programs that have helped to establish Quorn as the world’s leading meat free brand.

“As a holder of many key business patents, I have relished the opportunity to create the ‘first new food since the potato’ and I’m often still found with my sleeves rolled up exploring opportunities for breakthrough innovations in texture and flavour. I lead a vibrant industrial and academic research and development program and I work alongside key opinion leaders who help share the current hot topics of nutrition research and help to develop an understanding of the future potential for Quorn in the sustainable diet.”
