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."
