Goals delisted from the London stock market back in 2019 after it uncovered “improper behaviour” by a number of individuals, meaning it was unable to file its financial results.

Inflexion worked with Goals’ founders to buy the firm through a pre-pack administration in late 2019.

Goals has more than 450 pitches across the UK, with around 700 employees.
