Green was a financial supporter of Theresa May's prime ministerial campaign. Green was the founder of discount retailer Brand Centre which was sold to Moss Bros Group in 1999. In 2006, Green sold his retail kiosk business to Sky plc for in excess of £25 million, and HomeSun Ltd, a solar distribution company, to Aviva Investors in 2012 for £100 million. Business careerGreen opened the first Brand Centre in Enfield, North London, now Matalan. The departmental store offered designer clothing for men, women and children sold at a discount. The Enfield store was the first in Britain to have a "Men's Creche"[1] where men could sit, read magazines and watch football. Further stores were opened in Uxbridge and Manchester before the brand being sold to Moss Bros in 1999 for an estimated £2 million.{{fact|date=July 2017}} In 2001 he founded You Me TV [2], a retail business which advised on TV, Phone and internet packages. This was acquired by Sky in 2006 and Daniel became CEO of Sky Retail. In 2010, Green started HomeSun to profit from a new Government scheme to provide solar power to homes. The Government feed-in tariff scheme was brought in by Ed Miliband, who was in charge of DECC at the time; HomeSun installed household solar power systems, some at no immediate cost to the householder, in return for collecting the resulting feed-in tariffs.[3] HomeSun became the largest residential renewable business in Europe, making over 7,000 home installations (equivalent to 30 MW); it was subsequently purchased by Aviva Investors in 2012 for £100 million.[4] Post 2012, Green has invested in a number of businesses including FlowGem, which he founded in 2015; it manufactured an IoT water leak detector and was sold to Centrica plc in excess of £13 million in 2016.[5] In 2018, Green became the CEO of NeoCam. Legal battlesIn late 2011, the Government decided to substantially reduce the solar feed-in tariff. Green and his company HomeSun engaged in a legal battle with the Government known as the "Friends of the Earth Case". The Government appealed numerous times and lost their bid.[6] The Government's further appeal in the Supreme Court was also rejected. The Ministers of DECC, Chris Huhne and Greg Barker, were forced to re-open the solar feed-in tariff for a future period.[7][8] Other rolesGreen acts as the chairman of Kisharon, a charity for disabled children.[9][10] Green is on the board of 3 schools, including Hasmonean High School [11], which has been ranked by the Sunday Times as the performing non-selective comprehensive school in the UK [12] and a trustee of Ner Yisrael,[13] a community learning initiative. Green is a member of the Conservative Leaders Group and was part of the small group that financially supported Theresa May's campaign to be Prime Minister.[14] In 2015 he was made a Crown Representative for the Cabinet Office,[15] in a non-paid role, helping the Government with commercial relationships with third parties. AwardsGreen won Company magazine's "Most Eligible Bachelor of the Year 1990".[16] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/money/brand-new-heavy-1263164.html|title=Brand New Heavy|last=|first=|date=|website=The Independent|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Green, Daniel}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4396744.stm|title=Viewers'unaware of analogue end'|last=|first=|date=|website=BBC News|publisher=|accessdate=19 June 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.sky.com/story/energy-firms-1631bn-solar-power-giveaway-10492729|title=Energy Firm's £1bn Solar Power Giveaway|last=|first=|date=|website=Sky|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://invezz.com/news/commodities/274-insurance-giant-aviva-acquires-100-million-pounds-solar-portfolio|title=Insurance Giant Aviva Acquires £100 Million Solar Portfolio|last=|first=|date=|website=Invezz|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bqlive.co.uk/2016/08/31/flowgem-acquired-by-british-gas-parent/|title=FlowGem acquired by British Gas parent|last=|first=|date=|website=Business Quarter|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16723448|title=Government cut to solar tariffs blocked as appeal fails|last=|first=|date=|website=BBC News|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/297999/Victory-as-judges-force-U-turn-over-solar-panel-cash|title=Victory as judges force U-turn over solar panel cash|last=|first=|date=|website=Daily Express|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/jan/25/solar-subsidies-government-loses-court-appeal|title=Solar subsidies cuts: UK government loses court appeal|last=|first=|date=|website=The Guardian|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/297999/Victory-as-judges-force-U-turn-over-solar-panel-cash|title=Victory as judges force U-turn over solar panel cash|last=|first=|date=|website=Daily Express|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kisharon.org.uk/about-us/generous-benefactors/|title=Kisharon Benefactors|last=|first=|date=|website=Kisharon|publisher=|accessdate=13 June 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hasmonean.co.uk/about-us/governing-body/|title=Hasmonean High School Governing Body|last=|first=|date=|website=Hasmonean|publisher=|accessdate=13 June 2018}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a-comprehensive-leap-of-faith-vv0g9jkhrvm/|title=A comprehensive leap of faith|last=|first=|date=|website=The Times|publisher=|accessdate=13 June 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.neryisrael.co.uk/history-of-ner.html|title=Who's Who|last=|first=|date=|website=Nery Israel|publisher=|accessdate=13 June 2018}}. 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3723657/Theresa-raked-275-000-leadership-campaign-got-cash-donors-nominated-gongs-David-Cameron-declared-37-100-FREE-rent.html|title=Theresa May raised £275,000 for her leadership campaign and even got cash from donors nominated for gongs by David Cameron - who has himself declared £37,100 in FREE rent|last=|first=|date=|website=Daily Mail|publisher=|accessdate=1 November 2016}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/525085/Crown_Reps_and_Strategic_Suppliers_19th_May_2016.docx|title=Crown Representatives and Strategic Suppliers (May 2016)|last=|first=|date=|website=Gov.uk|publisher=|accessdate=2 November 2016}} 16. ^{{cite web|title=Brand new heavy|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/money/brand-new-heavy-1263164.html|website=The Independent|accessdate=2 November 2016}} 2 : 1966 births|Living people |
