OUR CLUB

Roy Kinnear

Chairman

Roy was appointed Chairman of Hong Kong Scottish in 2018, after serving three years as Finance Director.  Roy was integral to the setting up of Hong Kong Scottish and has been a stalwart in the Stand from the beginning.

After qualifying as a Scottish Chartered Accountant in Aberdeen, Roy moved to Hong Kong in the early 1990s, taking up a technical position with Price Waterhouse.  It wasn’t long until Roy was recruited by Jardine Fleming and through a series of acquisitions and corporate developments, Roy found himself running investment banking and asset management businesses in Bangkok, London and New York before returning to Hong Kong as Chief Operating Officer of JP Morgan Asia Pacific in 2007.

While Roy is firmly committed to growing Hong Kong Scottish, he can be distracted by the exploits of Elgin City, in which he is a proud shareholder. Roy is also Cheiftain of the St Andrews Society. 

Stewart Saunders MBE

President

Stewart was one of the driving forces behind the creation of Hong Kong Scottish and served as its first Chairman from 2012 to 2015, before assuming the role of Club President.  He has a keen interest in player welfare and can often be found in the middle of the end-of-match huddle.

An engineer by background, Stewart has had a long and distinguished career in the power industry heading up MANWEB and Selectusonline.com before taking the role of Chief Operating Officer of CLP, Hong Kong.

Stewart has a wealth of experience in sports club management including stock car racing and ice hockey, as well as rugby.  A native of Kirkcaldy, he also keeps an eye on the Raith Rovers scores.

Martin Murray

Board Member

Martin, a founding life member, joined the Finance Committee in 2013. With a family pedigree of Scottish Border rugby, and strongly related administrative credentials, there were high hopes of a successful rugby career. However, schooled in Edinburgh he took up hockey and naturally became an accountant instead. Martin moved to Glasgow to qualify as a Scottish Chartered Accountant, followed by a move to Hong Kong with Ernst & Young.

In 1995, Martin moved to the Swire Group where he has held a number of finance related positions in Hong Kong, USA and Australia. Currently, he is Finance Director of Cathay Pacific Airways.

Martin has proved his worth as an after-dinner speaker and is often in demand at rugby dinners, as well as a supper or two at the end of each January.

 Ken holds a law degree from Edinburgh University, qualified as a Scottish Chartered Accountant and is currently Chairman Greater China for the international accounting firm Mazars, as well as Vice Chairman of its Group Governance Council.
