Base-Detallsport, the second-largest sporting goods buying group in Spain, has announced the departure of its general manager, Angel Pardo, after 25 years in office. Without naming his successor, Francisco Torrejón, president of the group, said that it had seized the opportunity for a generation change to reach the goals of Base while satisfying Pardo's own personal goals through an amicable agreement. He praised Pardo for a significant reduction in Base's costs and an increase in turnover, which is expected to reach €60 million in 2014, with 125 retail members running 325 stores.
