Mort set up the Newcastle United Foundation to lead on the club's charitable work in the north-east and rebuilt the club's relationship with children and families.[5]
He left the club in June 2008 and was replaced by Derek Llambias in the role of managing director.[6]
Mort was linked by the media with a return to Newcastle after being spotted at several games.[7] It was claimed, in January 2020, that he had been asked by Amanda Staveley to lead negotiations in connection with a possible Saudi-backed takeover of the club.[8]
