"In clothing & home, we continued with our strategy of restoring price integrity and improving everyday value. Our revenue grew both in-store and online over the weeks leading up to Christmas, and we held our full price stance in a very promotional market and did not participate in Black Friday. However, the impact of an unseasonal October resulted in an overall revenue decline. As a result, we carried more stock into the December sale," M&S said in a press release.
"We continue with the accelerated transformation programme we outlined in November and have recently taken several important steps to reshape the business for the future. These include a new technology partnership and organisation, and the sale of our Hong Kong based business in line with the streamlined franchise-led model we are adopting for international," said Steve Rowe, chief executive.
