Leadership Changes at The Vegan Food Group with Dave Sparrow’s Departure as CEO

In a significant shift within the leadership of The Vegan Food Group (VFG), CEO Dave Sparrow has officially stepped down from his position. His tenure began in January 2024, transitioning from his prior role as CEO of VFC Foods, the company’s predecessor.

Background on The Vegan Food Group and VFC Foods

The Vegan Food Group was founded by Veganuary’s Matthew Glover alongside co-founder Adam Lyons, who initiated VFC Foods in 2020. Recent records from Companies House in London indicate that Lyons has also resigned from his role, joining Sparrow and other executives in this leadership shake-up.

Confirmation of Departure and Future Endeavors

While VFG has yet to confirm Sparrow’s departure to Just Food, Sparrow acknowledged his resignation in a brief statement. He noted, “I’ve been with the organisation pretty much from inception and am proud of what we have achieved, although it was time for a new challenge and some time to recharge.” He added that he will continue to support the organization from afar while focusing on his next CEO role.

A company filing dated 12 September points to the official timing of Sparrow’s resignation, while he clarified that Lyons had “stood down some time ago,” with an official director resignation recorded as of April 2024.

Executive Resignations at VFG

Additional filings show that Eden Phillip and Daniel Hardesty, both listed as secretaries on the UK registrar of companies, also resigned; Phillip on 20 August and Hardesty on 10 January.

Acquisitions and Growth During Sparrow’s Tenure

Under Sparrow’s leadership, VFG made several notable acquisitions in the plant-based meat sector while still operating as VFC Foods. In mid-2023, VFC acquired the brands of The Meatless Farm Co., which had gone into administration. This transaction was valued at approximately £12m in sales, equivalent to $16.2m today (as of 23 September).

The Meatless Farm, founded in 2016 by Morten Toft Bech, reported a net loss of £23.5m for the year ending 31 December 2021 and had partnerships with major UK retailers such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Morrisons.

Further Expansion and Strategic Moves

Following the acquisition of Meatless Farm, which laid the groundwork for VFG’s new identity, in October 2023, the company expanded its portfolio by acquiring Clive’s Purely Plants, along with its manufacturing facility located in Dartmouth, Devon. Clive’s Purely Plants is known for producing a variety of vegan pastries including pies, quiches, tarts, and sausage rolls.

Investor Veg Capital, where Glover also plays a crucial role as co-founder and managing director, had previously secured a majority interest in Clive’s Purely Plants in 2021. Subsequently, under the rebranded VFG, the company also acquired Germany’s Tofutown in 2024, marking continued growth in the competitive plant-based market.
