Marks and Spencer Non-Executive Director Resigns

Marks & Spencer has annouced 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.’
