Non-Executive Director Resigns
Marks & Spencer today announces the resignation of Anthony Habgood,
Non-Executive Director, to enable him to focus on business commitments outside
Marks & Spencer. He steps down from the Board with immediate effect.
Anthony Habgood said: 'It is with great regret that I have resigned as a
director of Marks & Spencer. As Chairman of Whitbread and after unexpectedly
having had to resume the Executive Chairmanship of Bunzl in June, I have found
it impossible to fulfil the time commitments necessary to remain on the Board.'
Paul Myners, Chairman said: 'We fully understand that in these circumstances
Tony felt he could not continue as a Non-Executive Director. I would like to
thank him for his service on the Board during the last year.'
ENDS
