LONDON (Alliance News) - Goals Soccer Centres on Thursday said it is making good progress with the six short-term priorities identified since Nick Basing took up the role of chairman in March.
The six priorities are: to recruit a new chief executive, appoint new non-executive directors, complete an in-depth review of the company, develop an overall investment strategy, complete the US business plan, and to implement an operational improvement plan.
Goals said it has concluded the search for a new CEO, and expects to announce details "imminently", while it has appointed Scott Lloyd and Christopher Mills as non-executive directors.
Meanwhile, the review of the company will be drawn to completion by next week, with results and a strategic plan to be announced shortly afterwards, while Goals said it is encouraged by the early signs of its near-term operational improvement plan which is currently being implemented.
Goals added that like-for-like sales in the first 18 weeks of the year are "marginally negative", but noted that the significant decline in last year's second half has been "eroded".
Shares in Goals were trading flat at 95.00 pence on Thursday morning.
