Tim Green - Council member

Tim has always been a hands-on engineering type and from a young age renovated old vehicles. Subsequently, his interest turned to electronics, as well as building a go-kart and small hovercraft. His electronic interests led to building discotheque equipment, subsequently working as a DJ for 6 years in Capetown.

On return to UK, formal education was required and he worked for the Electronics department in Physiology at Oxford University whist undertaking engineering courses at Oxford Polytechnic.

He later moved into industry, working for Smiths industries and various electronics companies, specialising in DC-DC converters and induction cooking hobs.

Meanwhile, Tim had been involved with renovation of several stone houses. This led to an interest in buildings and a determination to become a surveyor. Realising this ambition in 2007, he joined RPSA from the beginning and has been a council member since 2018.

Tim is married with three grown up children and 5 grandchildren. He and his family have lived for the past 36 years in the same house in Oxford.
