Group menu that includes shawarmas , kebabs , and other popular options ,” he describes .
With such a diverse portfolio of brands , Goldex is indeed very active on multiple fronts . Nonetheless , Diljit assures that the company understands the need to prioritize and take things step by step . “ When you start to juggle too many activities , it can become hard to do them well and can lead to confusion and stress . Hence , we are currently focusing on expanding our gym business , particularly in the ladies-only segment , where we have identified a niche . Our first gym was unisex , but our most recent one in Sidcup has experienced tremendous success as a ladies-only gym , so we are planning to focus more on that . To stand out in the gym market , we are getting involved with one of the largest private health companies in the UK . As a result of this collaboration , we are able to offer the classic fitness side of the gym experience , as well as nourishment , wellbeing , health checks , and everything that customers could possibly want . While there are some big players in the market that offer similar services , their price point is typically higher than ours , making this segment of the business an exciting opportunity for us .”
Our
relationship with Goldex began with their first 3 Costa stores in Woolwich , Hornchurch and Orpington in 2006 . We went on to install in over 100 + Costa Coffee shops . During this time we have continued to develop , and now specialise in commercial fit out works , CAT A and B for retail , leisure , hospitality and education .
Community commitment
As mentioned earlier , Goldex is growing its presence not only in the UK , but also in Morocco , where it is opening new stores . Diljit provides insights into the company ’ s expansion efforts . “ Our expansion in Morocco is going well , with eight Costa stores currently open in the country , all in just under two years . Additionally , we have opened a Kaspa ’ s Desserts store in Marrakech , with a view of introducing a further three , one in Rabat and two in Casablanca . There are also plans to potentially open another store in Marrakech , and we have nearly agreed a deal with Shell Fuel to establish a presence in some of their stations . The next 12-to-18 months are poised to offer significant growth , but also significant
