Conor Grant has confirmed he will be stepping down as Chair of Racecourse Media Group (RMG), the umbrella organisation for 37 British racecourse shareholders and parent company of Racing TV, at the end of 2026.

Grant initially joined as a Non-Executive Director in April 2023, before being appointed Chair in October that year.

He said: “After careful consideration, I believe the end of my first term is the right moment to conclude my tenure as Chair of RMG due to increasing work commitments and travel to the US. It has been a genuine privilege to chair the business over the last three years. CEO Nick Mills and his management team are making great progress delivering for our Shareholders.

“We have sharpened the strategy, invested in our leadership team, and continued to build on strong foundations. I am particularly grateful to all our shareholders for their trust and support throughout my time as Chair. And finally, I would like to thank an outstanding Board of Directors whose support and insight have been instrumental to our progress.

“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.”

Under Grant’s stewardship RMG has consistently announced resilient results despite the notable headwinds and challenges faced by the media, gambling and horseracing sectors.

RMG CEO, Nick Mills, added: “Conor’s leadership has played a pivotal role in strengthening RMG and setting the business up for long‑term success. He leaves with our sincere thanks and best wishes for the future.”
