Marks & Spencer has announced the appointment of Steve Rowe as the new managing director (MD) of Clothing & Home. Rowe will be taking over the leadership of the business directly in the near term from Jill McDonald who is leaving the business after nearly two years. There is strong seasonal demand, leading to double digit growth of Clothing & Home.

"McDonald was brought in to establish a strong platform for the transformation of the Clothing and Home business. She has achieved that; she leaves with my thanks and good wishes for the future. She has recruited a talented team, improved the quality and style of product and set a clear direction for the business to attract a younger family age customer. The business now needs to move on at pace to address long-standing issues in our Clothing and Home supply chain around availability and flow of product. Given the importance of this task to M&S I will be overseeing this programme directly," said Rowe. (RR)
