Finance sector professional Clare Brookfield is leaving MSIF to join Professional Liverpool as its new member relations manager

Professional Liverpool (PL) has expanded its senior team with the appointment of Clare Brookfield as its member relations manager.

Clare joins PL from the investment organisation MSIF, where she worked as business development manager and was key to the success of the LCR Angel Network. She brings with her a strong background in relationship management.

This was developed in the finance sector and includes 11 years working for RBS and time with the Swedish bank, Handelsbanken, supporting high-net-worth clients.

In her new role, Clare will work closely with chief executive, Andrew Ruffler, and be the first point of contact for Professional Liverpool’s members, as well as encouraging other professionals to join the network across Liverpool city region.

Clare, who lives in Southport, said: “Having been a member for over a decade, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to experience the value the organisation brings to Liverpool city region.

“I’m very excited to join the team and support Professional Liverpool’s continued growth and evolution. The organisation is backed by a board that features some of the best-connected and most insightful leaders in our region, all of whom are passionate about developing a future-ready economy and investing in the LCR brand.”

While undertaking her role at Professional Liverpool, Clare will continue her volunteer work with Liverpool Sportswoman’s Lunch, where the 320-strong group recently raised £10,000 for the NSPCC.

Andrew Ruffler, who took over as chief executive of Professional Liverpool at the start of the lockdown in March 2020, added: “We welcome the energy, contacts and commitment Clare brings to our team. She has a wealth of experience that will help our members greatly and will be a real asset to what we are working to achieve.”
