Sir Hugh Green's final role in the 蜜芽传媒 was as Director General, reaching this position in January 1960. The role of the 'DG' is tough yet hugely rewarding, and under Greene's leadership the 蜜芽传媒 fundamentally changed.
Arguably, through his reforms, the 蜜芽传媒 became much closer to its audience than in previous years. He recorded his memories for the Collection in 1982.
