Director/Child Protection & Wellbeing officer
Mary Stewart
Mary joined the board in 2021 and her current roles include Director, Child Wellbeing Officer, Ladies team Player/Manager, and Coach/Secretary for the youth teams and mini kickers.
Mary was brought up in Brora and spent a lot of her youth in and around Dudgeon Park. Football was always a big part of her life, playing in various teams as a youngster. When she left Brora, she stayed in Dundee for 15 years, during which time she played for Dundee United and Dundee City. She suffered a bad leg break at the end of her time in Dundee and hung up the boots at that time which coincided with a move to Hopeman where she spent 6 years, and her first daughter was born there. She returned to Brora in 2010 and her second daughter was born a year later. She joined the Brora Rangers Ladies team and was asked to take over the running of the team, which she did. In 2018 Mary and a few others from clubs around the Highlands got together to set up a Ladies Highlands & Islands league through the SWFA and in the first season Brora Rangers finished 4th. Since then, Mary and a group of volunteers have expanded the ladies and youth initiative at Brora Rangers with around 100 kids and ladies attending training every week from primary 1 up. There are 3 Brora Rangers girls/ladies teams currently competing in SWFA leagues.
On finishing school, Mary left Brora to head south to do a degree in business Studies. After graduating, she joined NCR in Dundee initially as a Software Supply Line Specialist and thereafter moved into Supply Line Management. NCR at that time were the second largest employer in Tayside and number one supplier of Auto Teller Machines around the world. Mary spent 12 years there, which was a great experience and presented lots of opportunities to travel the world. When she moved up to Hopeman she worked from home initially and then volunteered for redundancy when her daughter was born. Having secured her redundancy, she set up a Property Development business and spend 4 years buying and selling houses around Moray. She continued this business until she moved back to Brora in 2010 to take over the local Post Office. The Post Office was expanded to add a gift shop but unfortunately, due to Post Office cuts, the business was closed in 2016. Since 2017 Mary has been working for Helmsdale & District Development Trust as Local Development Officer which is a challenging but rewarding role. She is working on many projects around Helmsdale including the development of a Multi-Use Games area which will include a covered Astro turf pitch and will be a great asset for the community for many years to come.
Mary sees her move back to Brora as a very positive one to be closer to family and friends and to give her own girls the kind of upbringing she had. She is delighted to be part of the board at her home team Brora Rangers and hopes to be able to help them progress over the years to come. Her hope is that in years to come our current mini kickers will make up a large percentage of our first team and some of our girls will go on to play professional football. As well as working with the Youth at Brora Rangers she is also involved with other youth groups in the village.
