Mike Green has succeeded Grant Murray as Honorary Treasurer. He is a business consultant and former deputy group finance director of ITV.

“Mike brings considerable experience from a series of senior financial roles in television as well as an understanding of charity law from his role as a director of the Sports Council Trust,” said Mike Darcey, Chair of the RTS Board of Trustees.

He added: “The RTS owes Grant a considerable debt of gratitude for the time and commitment he has given as Honorary Treasurer, overseeing and advising the board on the Society’s financial affairs. We will miss his wise counsel.” 

Murray stepped down from the role after being appointed CFO of Johnson Press.

Mike Green is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and a graduate of the London School of Economics.

Following the merger, Green moved to ITV and ultimately held the role of Deputy Group Finance Director.

He now acts as a business consultant and is also the Independent Member on the Audit Committee of the Metropolitan Housing Partnership, a director of Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, a director of the Sports Council Trust Company and a member of the Accountancy and Actuarial Discipline Board.
