Bents create new general manager post
 |
As part of their £10m development programme, Bents Garden & Home have created the new role of General Manager.
The senior position coincides with a number of internal moves and vacancies as Bents aim to become the North West’s ultimate garden, home and leisure destination.
With the first phase of construction work nearing completion and phase two not due to commence until 2013, the centre are using the next few months to focus on the strategic and efficient running of the business and strengthen their strong team.
The opening for the General Manager will help owner Matthew Bent progress his role as Managing Director to a more strategic level.
"Although my father Ron is no longer involved with the day-to-day running of the business he has continued to be very active at a strategic level," said Matthew.
"But as he focusses more on his retirement I will be looking to take on these areas of responsibility, working on the overall development of the business, which means we need a strong General Manager who can strengthen our team.
“We hope we can find someone who will embrace the vision we have for Bents and help ensure our core values continue to define the day-to-day running of the business."
Bents £10m development plan aims to create a larger contemporary retail space, with a two-storey high glazed atrium with escalators leading up to 3,800 sq m of retail, leisure and educational space.
