("Sports Direct" or the "Company")
Media Release: Workers' Representative
Sports Direct International plc today announced that it has
completed the process of electing a Workers' Representative who
will attend meetings of the Company's Board of Directors.
The elected candidate was named as Alex Balacki, 30, who works
for Sports Direct as a store manager in Barnstaple. Alex started
with the company 13 years ago as a casual sales assistant, who
worked on Saturdays.
In a letter to staff, Sports Direct chief executive Mike Ashley
said: "I'd like to be the first to congratulate Alex, who will help
us to continue to make a positive difference by ensuring that your
voice is heard in the boardroom. I have said many times that this
is a company that was built by the great people who work here. I am
therefore delighted that the people at Sports Direct have voted to
choose the company's first UK elected Workers' Representative."
Sports Direct staff elected Alex from three candidates who were
selected via an internal assessment process (as previously set out
in the Company's announcement of 9(th) March 2017).
Alex said: "I'm very proud to be chosen by my fellow members of
staff to fulfil this important responsibility. I'd like to thank
everybody who took part in the elections, including all of the
other candidates. It's now my role to ensure the people of Sports
Direct are heard."
The Workers' Representative is now due to attend all scheduled
meetings of the Board over the next 12 months, the first of which
is due to take place later in the Spring. A new representative will
then be elected each year.
