Barrow have announced that Levi Gill has informed the club that he has decided to stand down from the role of Chief Executive.
Levi was the first Chief Executive when the position was created in July 2020 and he oversaw the club’s transition from the National League to League Two amidst the challenges of a pandemic.
Alisha Henry has now been confirmed as the club’s new General Manager, and Levi will remain in his role until the end of January to ensure a smooth handover.
Chairman Paul Hornby told the club’s official website: “On behalf of myself and the board, I would like to thank Levi for all his hard work over the past 18 months.
“In what has been an unconventional period with COVID-19 and getting us up to speed quickly with all the EFL requirements, it’s certainly been a challenging environment.
“However, we’re now in a stable position with a good organisational structure and people running the club, for which Levi deserves huge credit.
“From a personal point of view, Levi was the first Supporters’ Trust representative in March 2019, and he really helped the process of making this structure work by managing expectations on both sides.
“He was a great support to me in this position; therefore, we shouldn’t forget his role in shaping the Barrow AFC we have today.
“We all wish him the very best for the next steps in his career and I am sure that he will be no stranger to the club in the future.”
Barrow-born and raised, Gill studied for a degree at Manchester University and worked for a while in Germany before returning to work at BAE eight years ago.
The club will not currently be taking any applications for the role of Chief Executive but will look to review the overall situation at the end of the season.
The club has also announced that Kelly Moxham will take interim charge of the club’s sponsorship and hospitality, while Aaron Archer has begun work with The Bluebirds under the government’s Kick Start scheme.
