By 2015, he held a 20% shareholding in Livingston.[2] However, he quit his role with the club in 2020. In 2022, he was the subject of a fraud investigation relating to a missing six-figure sum discovered by forensic accountants.[3]
Hogarth and former Livingston director Carolyn Sumner attempted to halt and suspend a potential takeover at Livingston in December 2023. The pair had lodged a petition with the Court of Session.[4][5][6][7][8] In December 2024, Livingston announced that the club had reached an agreement with all parties in the court case.[9]
In May 2025, Calvin Ford became the majority shareholder of Livingston, with Hogarth owning the remaining shares in the club.[10] Days after the announcement of Ford becoming majority shareholder, it was announced that Hogarth was appointed as Vice-Chairman of Livingston.[11]
