Golden Acres appoints first operations manager, David Goble

Expanding horticultural group Golden Acres has appointed retail specialist David Goble to its new role of garden centre operations manager, with oversight of its four centres in Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire.
   He said: “I will be working closely with each centre and buyers. One of our objectives is to create an increased ‘high street’ feel to our centres, with great value for money and excellent ranges of garden lifestyle products.
   “Golden Acres is currently looking to acquire more centres so my job is set to expand shortly; I’ve arrived at an exciting time.”
   David is a former Woolworths store manager and area manager. He lives in Fareham with his wife Kirsty and their two children.
