Retirements prompt recruitment at Yorkshire Garden Centres

The company bought Dean’s of York and Scarborough recently.

Yorkshire Garden Centres, which has various restaurants and catering options in its estate, has appointed two managers to lead newly acquired sites in North Yorkshire. The company bought Dean's of York and Scarborough following the retirement of Richard, Helen and Sarah Dean earlier this year. Their retirement, plus that of Jim Cockerton from the Scarborough centre, created vacancies for managers at the two sites.

Experienced garden centre manager Mike Waugh has been appointed as the centre manager at Dean's York. Adam Bailey, meanwhile, has been promoted from within to manage the Dean's Scarborough site where he has worked for 21 years.

'Real ambition and drive'
Waugh said: "I'm looking forward to joining a company with real ambition and drive to take the company forward. In my new role, I'm most looking forward to leading the team to reach these new heights." 

Neil Barwise-Carr, Yorkshire Garden Centres' head of people and culture, added: "We're delighted to welcome Mike to the Yorkshire Garden Centres family and to congratulate Adam on his well-deserved promotion. We're looking forward to working with them both and benefitting from their vast experience."
