Anita Barker’s Expertise Now holding a portfolio of Non Executive Chair Roles in Food and non Food FMCG organisations I have transitioned successfully from my life as an Executive. This portfolio approach allows me to offer professional guidance, governance and support for growth businesses, PE businesses and established businesses. As an ACA and formerly a member of the Group Executive Board for Samworth Brothers and Icelandic Group I can relate to the challenges of everyday business which remain similar to my life Executive experiences. Being responsible for Business Development and Strategy alongside the development of People has meant for a fascinating career in Food for me both UK and International. The challenges of quality procurement becoming even more critical with the Brexit uncertainty. Relationships and people development are the focal point in my world, as I take a genuine interest in those with whom I work colleagues, customers, investors and suppliers. I qualified as an ACA with Arthur Andersen, following an early sponsorship with Lucas Aerospace. Working with Boots global operations at an early age gave me the chance to participate in a diverse International world when European harmonisation and all of the ensuring challenges were just a vision. My career thus split between years of Finance Director roles alongside IT transformational projects to Managing Director, Executive Director and Business Development. I moved into General Management in 2006 when an opportunity arose with a significant loss maker requiring Customer and People leadership to drive its turnaround. This move into a Customer facing leadership role allowed me to develop new and strong skills around Food Innovation, Business Development, leading Manufacturing transformation and change. Whilst working in the Seafood sector I was Chair of the Humber Seafood Institute. A huge compliment as a relative newcomer to this sector showing the positive impact fresh vision can create. I joined Samworth Brothers Group Board in May 2014 following a short period as MD of one of the group businesses. Working on the Board of one of the most prestigious private and branded businesses was rewarding and challenging. The reputation of Samworth Brothers is widely known for quality food production and excellent people values. Two things which I am proud to have lived my life with as key values. Great Business.
