Diana Golding, a Freeman of the city of York, is the new manager of Spring Gardens shopping centre in Buxton. She comes to Spring Gardens from her home town of York, where she was appointed centre manager of the city's Coppergate shopping centre, home to the world famous Jorvik Viking Centre, in 1998.

During her time at the Coppergate centre, she was director and subsequently president of the York and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, a director of the City Centre Partnership, and worked with the York Tourism Bureau and as a trustee of Shopmobility. Diana also served as a member of the Conservation Areas Advisory Panel and as a local secondary school governor as well as chairing the local retail crime reduction partnership, 'Retailers Against Crime in York'.

Diana said: "I'm thrilled to join the team at Spring Gardens. I have moved to Buxton at a very exciting time. The redevelopment of the Crescent will put Buxton well and truly on the world map and there are opportunities to really use the Pavilion Gardens to their maximum potential.

"I am really looking forward to meeting all the people who work here at the centre. I hope that over time I can assist the Spring Gardens to play a larger role in the community, especially in offering help to local groups and charities," Diana added.

She will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the centre and forms part of the proactive management team designed to move the centre forward in the coming years.

Spring Gardens offers an extensive range of leading high street retailers including Waitrose, New Look, Next, Tchibo and Thorntons.
