BARROW RAIDERS chairman Steve Neale has welcomed Anita Brook as a new director, claiming she will be “invaluable” in helping to develop the Cumbrian club.

Brook is a chartered certified accountant with more than 25 years of experience and has a proven track record of advising and growing businesses across the UK.

As the owner of multiple accountancy firms, she will bring financial expertise, strategic insight and a commitment to community-led growth.

One of her accountancy firms, RF Miller & Co, are a long-established organisation in the area.

Neale believes the appointment is an “important step” in securing the future of the club.

“Her expertise and energy will be invaluable as we continue to develop the club’s structure and future direction,” he said.

“This is an important step in strengthening our leadership and ensuring long-term success.”
