Dave Denton, from Cleckheaton, has been promoted to centre manager at the long-established Bingley Garden Centre at Harden.

Mr Denton began his career with Yorkshire Garden Centres as a member of the leisure team at Tong Garden Centre before being promoted to supervisor and, latterly, manager of the garden sundries department.

He replaces Marc Salama who was promoted to the new position of group commercial plant manager earlier in the year.

Mr Denton said: “There are a lot of experienced members within this team, some of whom have worked at this site for many years, and it has been great to hear what thoughts are on our plans for the site moving forward.

“It has been a real pleasure getting to know the guys and I am looking forward to working with them to provide an exceptional experience for our visitors.

“I am looking forward to helping the team and the site to reach their full potential.

“The team at Bingley has a lot to offer and the site itself has some great opportunities for new and interesting visual merchandising, educational displays and a new layout.”
