Lisa Morgan has stepped down from the position of chief executive
of Game Group, the video and PC games retailer
following a 10 percent sales decline, and a 28 drop in pretax
profit to £84 million. Game’s UK chief operating officer,
Terry Scicluna, has also announced his intentions to leave the
business. Responsibility for the UK operating activities will now
be handled by Martyn Gibbs, who was appointed Game Group’s UK and
Eire managing director last month. Nonexecutive director Chris
Bell is appointed interim CEO. The Times writes that the departure of Game’s
senior executives leaves the business “vulnerable to a
takeover approach”.
