Laura Beal named new Centre Manager at The Rock in Bury

Laura Beal

Laura Beal has been appointed as the new Centre Manager at The Rock shopping and leisure complex in Bury, following the retirement of long-serving director Arnold Wilcox-Wood.

After nearly a decade as part of the centre’s management team, Laura Beal steps into the lead role with a pledge to continue building on her predecessor. Known for her dedication and strong links to the Bury community, Laura told Roch Valley Radio:

"I'm so excited to take on this new challenge. The Rock is a brilliant destination which I’m proud to be part of. I’m committed to building on Arnold’s legacy and continuing to deliver a fantastic experience for our visitors."

The appointment marks a period of transition for The Rock, one of Bury’s most popular shopping and leisure destinations. Arnold Wilcox-Wood, who has led the centre through years of growth and change, has retired after a distinguished career in the retail property industry.

He leaves behind a record of driving footfall, attracting key tenants, and establishing The Rock as a central part of the town’s economy and social life.

The team at The Rock recently paid tribute to Arnold, describing him as “an incredible leader and a driving force behind The Rock’s success” with a lasting impact on the centre and wider community.

Laura Beal’s promotion has been met with enthusiasm from staff and local partners. With a deep knowledge of the site and a proven track record in operations, her leadership is expected to bring continuity alongside fresh momentum.
