Timeline

1968

Timothy David Dalton Philips (born 18 February 1968) is an Irish businessman.

He currently serves as the CEO of Greencore since September of 2022.

1990

Philips attended Stowe School in Buckinghamshire, has a BA in geography/Greek & Roman civilisation (1990) from University College Dublin, an MBA from Harvard Business School and an honorary doctorate of management from the University of Bradford.

His retailing career began in New Zealand, where he began as a store manager.

He then had 11 jobs in 14 countries, including an appointment to Jardine Matheson's Dairy Farm International.

1998

He joined Walmart in 1998, and after working in Brazil, rose to the position of Chief Operating Officer in Germany.

2007

He then joined the Weston family retail operation as CEO of upmarket Irish department store group Brown Thomas in 2007, and then becoming chief operating officer of Canadian retailer Loblaw in January 2007, under Allan Leighton.

2009

After Morrisons CEO Marc Bolland announced his departure to Marks and Spencer in December 2009, Philips was appointed in a surprise move as his replacement in January 2010.

However, Leighton worked with Morrisons chairman Sir Ian Gibson during his tenure at Asda, and is good friends with founder Sir Ken Morrison.

2010

He was the CEO of the UK supermarket chain Morrisons from January 2010 until March 2015, when he was succeeded by David Potts.

He was the chief executive of DAA, the Irish state-owned global airports and travel retail group which runs Dublin and Cork airports until September 2022.

Born in Ireland, Philips is the son of the late Tim Philips, who was managing director of Ballyfree Farms, and the grandson of Osbourne David Philips, an American entrepreneur who invented the plastic zip-lock.

Philip's mother Susan was a Independent member of Wicklow County Council and a politics tutor at University College Dublin.

2014

At Morrisons annual AGM in June 2014, Morrisons former chairman Morrison blasted Phillips and his new board of directors for their running of the company Morrison inherited from his father, stating, "I have something like 1000 bullocks and, having listened to your presentation, Dalton, you’ve got a lot more bullshit than me".

Morrison's comments were backed up by his nephew Chris Blundell, who controls most of the remaining family stake in the supermarket, also told the board it needed rescuing, and welcomed the decision by chairman Sir Ian Gibson to leave the business next year after months of pressure.

2015

In January 2015, Philips was ousted as chief executive of Wm Morrison after several years of poor performance, a halving of profit and a series of strategic U-turns at what was previously one of Britain’s most successful supermarket chains.

Philips, as well as being the former chairman of Byron, and of the Ridgeon Group, is currently a senior advisor with the Boston Consulting Group, and is a director on three other boards: industrial plastic group One51 Plc., the UK High Street retailer Wilko, and the Social Innovation Fund, a provider of growth capital to Irish social enterprises.

2017

In October 2017, after moving back to his native Ireland from Yorkshire, Philips became chief executive of DAA, a global airports and travel retail group owned by the Irish State and headquartered at Dublin Airport.

Philips was a member of the Irish government's high-level task force on covid-19 vaccination rollout.

Dalton was CEO of DAA from 2017-2022.

2019

In 2019, the DAA saw record-breaking passenger numbers.

2020

In 2020, Philips was awarded UCD Alumnus of the Year in Arts & Humanities.

In May 2022, Philips announced he would be leaving DAA to join Greencore.

In 2020, Covid was “the most serious crisis that has ever faced the international aviation sector and our business,” according to Dalton.

By June 2020, the pandemic had already cost DAA €160m in lost revenue, with passengers decreased by 99%.

The DAA implemented a series of public health measures to protect and enhance the health and safety of passengers and staff as a result of Covid-19.

In October 2020, Dublin Airport anti-Covid-19 measures received accreditation from global industry body Airports Council International (ACI).

In 2022, Dublin Airport’s north runway came into operation.

The runway cost €320 million, opening on time and on budget at no cost to the taxpayer.

On 1 June 2022, Dalton was called to appear before the Oireachtas transport committee.

Dalton's daa, having presided over multiple days of prolonged queues, more than 1,000 passengers missing a flight in one day and providing no guarantee that such queues would not return was described by Minister of State in the Department of Finance, Seán Fleming as a "reflection of bad management, full stop".

The Taoiseach said the delays are "unacceptable for passengers and their families."

In May 2021, Phillips had defended the decision to lay off 2,000 of DAA's 7,750 staff, despite the state backstop in place at the time as necessary, stating, "if you had that [bailout] mentality, it’s all over...we have to carry our own water."

The decision to fire so many staff was criticised in June 2022 in Dáil Éireann, with deputies claiming that the resultant airport delays had made Ireland in to a "laughing stock".

Philips has other business interests including a number of non-executive directorships, and is known to have a public Christian profile.

Philips has three children and is married to Penny Nesbitt, a member of the family who previously owned Arnotts department store, and speaks Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
