BENTS Garden and Home have appointed two new staff members to help its £10 million development project.

The Glazebury centre has appointed Mike Parker as general manager - a position created as part of the new management structure - and Amanda Prescott as marketing manager.

Mike said: “I am relishing the opportunity to get involved with Bents. As a family owned and run business it is a very different prospect but it is a business with huge ambition and one where you feel you can really make a difference.”

Mike and Amanda will bring their experience to the centres ambitious expansion.

“I understand how ambitious a company it is. I am looking forward to being part of its future,” Amanda said.
