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.
