(AsiaGameHub) –   Racecourse Media Group (RMG), the body representing 37 British racecourse shareholders, has announced that its chairman Conor Grant is set to step down from his post. The departing chair named growing work responsibilities and required travel to the United States as the drivers behind his decision.

Grant to Exit When His Term Concludes

On April 17, RMG confirmed that Grant, who has been with the organization for three years, will leave the team later this year. Per the official announcement, Grant will formally step down from the chair position at the end of 2026 , coinciding with the expiration of his first term in the role.

RMG, the umbrella group for 37 UK racecourse shareholders and parent company of Racing TV, further shared that Grant first joined the organization in April 2023, starting out as a non-executive director. By the close of that same year, he was promoted to the chair role on the strength of his outstanding professional capabilities.

During his tenure as group chair, Grant guided RMG to maintain strong performance despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and persistent challenges across the UK media, gambling and racing industries.

Per the official statement, Grant determined that the conclusion of his first term was the ideal point to bring his time as RMG chair to a close. He identified growing work obligations and travel to the US as the primary reasons for his choice.

Grant Valued His Time Working at RMG

In an official statement, Grant noted that serving as RMG chair over the past three years has been a true privilege. He expressed satisfaction with the organization’s current standing, praising the exceptional work of CEO Nick Mills and the wider management team. Grant went on to say that RMG has successfully refined its strategy, established solid leadership, and kept building upon its robust existing foundations.

The departing chair also highlighted that the organization’s shareholders and board of directors offered him exceptional support throughout his tenure, and expressed his gratitude for the trust they placed in him.

RMG is in a strong position with real momentum, and I am confident the business will continue to go from strength to strength in its next phase.
